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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]his is not a case where an accused clams up in the face of a charge of guilt, made under circumstances calling imperatively for an admission or denial.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“All of the cases where we have held that it was error to prove that the arrested person remained silent were cases where the persons were asked about the alleged crime or where some one made a statement about the alleged crime in the presence of the accused. In the case at bar, the appellant was not asked about the crime [n]or was anything said about the crime in his presence by any one. The only thing asked him was whether he would lie still, to which he answered in the affirmative, and [he] made no other statement. Certainly, appellant could not be prejudiced under these circumstances.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Howell“[T]he appellant was not asked about the crime or was anything said about the crime in his presence by anyone. The only thing asked him was whether he would lie still, to which he answered in the affirmative, and made no other statement. Certainly, appellant could not be prejudiced under these circumstances. Suppose that when a defendant was arrested he asked the arresting officer to telephone his wife and tell her he was arrested. Certainly this fact would not prejudice the arrested person.”
