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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This case falls within the purview of the doctrine of inevitable discovery, that is, evidence derived from information obtained in an unlawful search is not inadmissible under the fruit of the poisonous tree theory where it is shown that such evidence inevitably would have been gained without the unlawful action (People v. Fitzpatrick, 32 N.Y.2d 499, 506 , 346 N.Y.S.2d 793 , 300 N.E.2d 139 , cert. den. 414 U.S. 1033 , 94 S.Ct. 462 , 38 L.Ed.2d 324 [other citations omitted]).””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Upon the evidence adduced at the hearing we believe that the continued investigative work by the District Attorney’s office would have led to a discovery of the notices of mechanic’s liens at the County Clerk’s office and the procurement of the certified copies thereof. It may not be fairly said that the District Attorney exploited the illegality involved in the prior seizure.” Id.”
