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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The government is not ordinarily compelled to call all witnesses competent to testify including special agents or informers [citations]. The evidence upon which the appellant was convicted was secured by government agents personally and was in no way dependent on any informer [citations]. The Government was not required to produce the informer under the circumstances of this case; and we find defendant’s contention in this regard to be without merit.” 477 F.2d 130 , 131 (1973)”
