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 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“For jurors to see as well as hear the events surrounding ... [a] statement is a forward step in the search for the truth. And after all, the end for which we strive in all trials is that the truth may be ascertained and the proceedings justly determined.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]hat a video tape is protection for the accused. If he is hesitant, uncertain, or faltering, such facts will appear. If he has been worn out by interrogation, physically abused, or in other respects is acting involuntarily, the tape will corroborate him in ways a handwritten statement would not. Instead of denying a defendant his rights, we believe it is a modern technique to protect a defendant’s rights.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““If a proper foundation is laid for the admission of a video tape by showing that it truly and correctly depicted the events and persons shown, and that it accurately reproduced the defendant’s confession, we feel that it is an advancement in the field of criminal procedure and a protection of defendant’s rights.”
