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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We acknowledge the rejection of this position by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on May 24, 1971. Frazier v. Roberts (Steed), 8 Cir., 441 F.2d 1224 (opinion written on petition for rehearing). We regret the extent to which the problem presented may endanger “the delicate federal-state relationship in the criminal law enforcement field.” However, we decline to consider appellant’s unlawful search and seizure claim under the circumstances in this case. Our holding, of course, “will not preclude inquiry into [appellant’s] claim in a federal habeas corpus proceeding.” Frazier v. Roberts (Steed), supra, 441 F.2d 1224 . [ 468 S.W.2d at 32 ].”
