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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Some comments in the Miranda opinion can be read as indicating a bar to a use of an uncounseled statement for any purpose, but discussion of that issue was not at all necessary to the Court's hold ing and cannot be regarded as controlling. Miranda barred the prosecution from making its case with the statements of an accused made while in custody prior to having or effectively waiving counsel. It does not follow from Miranda that evidence inadmissible against an accused in the prosecution's case in chief is barred for all purposes, provided of course that the trustworthiness of the evidence satisfies legal standards." {our emphasis)”
