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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant orally confessed that he was the driver of the automobile at the time of the robbery; that they only planned to rob the man and not to kill him; that they heard on the radio Mr. Phillips, the deceased, was dead and they knew they had to get rid of the pistol and that he threw it into the bayou. A pistol was subsequently found by a diver at the place that had been pointed out by appellant. Also, a fingerprint on a paper bag left in the motel (scene of the robbery) by Graves (co-defendant) was identified as the right little fingerprint of the appellant. Procella v. State, supra, at 638 .”
