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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The totality of the circumstances indicate that (1) the police explained Henyard’s rights to him twice; (2) Henyard’s intelligence, although below average, was not so low that he could not understand his rights; (3) the transcript of the interrogation and Henyard’s responses to the police give no indication that he was confused or that he misunderstood the seriousness of the interrogation; (4) the police did not engage in any trickery, deception, or improper interrogation tactics; and (5) Henyard had previous experience with the justice system.”
