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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Probable cause is defined as] a reasonable ground for belief of guilt, supported by less than prima facie proof but more than mere suspicion. It may be established by demonstrating ‘by some credible evidence, the probability that the money was in fact drug related. Probable cause can be established by circumstantial evidence or evidence that would be inadmissible at trial, so long as the evidence is reliable.... the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal has recognized that as to the issue of the con-nexity of the property to the crime, the government’s burden requires "probable cause for belief that a substantial connection exists.”
