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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he existence of probable cause and a finding of guilt are two distinct issues. Because [the plaintiff] did plead guilty to making a threatening phone call to [the victim], it is tempting to say, ex ante, that [the officer’s] belief that [the plaintiff] had committed the offense of telephone harassment must have been reasonable. However, there is no evidence that [the plaintiffs] guilty plea established what [the officer] knew at the time of the arrest — the relevant time period for the probable cause analysis. Thus, we decline to conclude that [the plaintiffs] § 1983 claim is barred by collateral estoppel.”
