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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A confess:on is voluntary if it results from the free choice of a rational mind, if it is not i product of coercive police conduct, and if under all of the circumstances its admission would be fundamentally fair.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Ames · State v. Clark“We would also note that the other circumstances of this interrogation only served to enhance its overall unfairness. The Defendant's age, his nakedness throughout the interrogation, the fact that he was lying in a bed and did not feel well, the length of the continuous interrogation, the number of officers involved, and the "tag-team” approach to questioning, when combined with the use of alcohol to encourage the Defendant to talk, comprise a sorry spectacle.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Pierson“.[T]he voluntariness requirement gives effect to, three overlapping but conceptually distinct values: (1) it discourages objectionable, police practices; (2) it protects the mental freedom of the individual; and (3) it preserves a quality of fundamental fairness in the criminal justice system.”
