Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘Exculpatory’ is defined in Webster’s Dictionary as ‘clearing or tending to clear from alleged fault or guilt’. The various jurisdictions have adhered basically to this definition. The State of Texas in the case of Moore v. State, 124 Tex.Cr.R. 97 , 60 S.W.2d 453 [ (1933) ], said that ‘Exculpatory’ means clearing or tending to clear from alleged fault or guilt; excusing.’ In the case of Slate v. Langdon, 46 N.M. 277 , 127 P.2d 875 [ (1942) ], used the following language: ‘The word ‘exculpate’ is employed in the sense of excuse or justification.’”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Where the state introduces in evidence the confession of accused, it is bound by exculpatory statements contained therein unless they are shown by the evidence to be untrue; but the falsity of such exculpatory statements may be shown by circumstances as well as direct evidence.” (Emphasis ours)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Mitchell v. State · SPLAWN v. STATE““In order for a statement to come within the category of an exculpatory nature, it must be a tangible, affirmative, decisive, factual matter capable of specific disproof, and not extending to a mere recitation of innocence embroidered in the plea of not guilty.””
