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.
“On April 2, 1978, Officer Louis Pena of the Coral Gables Police Department was on patrol when he stopped [Valle] and a companion for a traffic violation. The events that followed were witnessed by Officer Gary Spell, also of the Coral Gables Police Department. Officer Spell testified that when he arrived at the scene, [Valle] was sitting in the patrol car with Officer Pena. Shortly thereafter, Spell heard Pena use his radio to run a license check on the car [Valle] was driving. According to Spell, [Valle] then walked back to his car and reached into it, approached Officer Pena and fired a single shot at him, which resulted in his death. [Valle] also fired two shots at Spell and then fled. He was picked up two days later in Deerfield Beach. Following his jury trial, [Valle was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Pena. He] was also found guilty of the attempted first-degree murder of Spell and after a non-jury trial, he was found guilty of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.”

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“While we are fully aware of the restrictions placed upon prosecutors on commenting upon a defendant's exercise of his or her constitutional right to remain silent, Doyle v. Ohio, 426 U.S. 610 [ 96 S.Ct. 2240 , 49 L.Ed.2d 91 ] (1976); Bennett v. State, 316 So.2d 41 (Fla.1975), the record before us conclusively demonstrates that appellant never invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Rather, the record reveals that after being given his Miranda warnings, appellant freely and voluntarily conversed with the police. During this post-Miranda lengthy conversation, appellant refused to answer one question of many. We do not believe that comment upon the failure to answer a single question was violative of appellant's constitutional right, when said constitutional right was not invoked. Id. at 100 .”
