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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The facts found to be true must be incriminating. Shelton v. State, 168 Tex. Cr.R. 432, 328 S.W.2d 445 . When the facts or circumstances asserted have not led to the discovery of items or information previously unknown to the State, confessions have been held inadmissible. Taggart v. State, 149 Tex.Cr.R. 91 , 191 S.W.2d 728 ; Willoughby v. State, 87 Tex. Cr.R. 40, 219 S.W. 468 ; Baggett v. State, 65 Tex.Cr.R. 425 , 144 S.W. 1136 . When, however, the statement of the accused has led to the discovery of items or information not theretofore discovered by the State, the `found to be true' requirement of Article 38.22, Section 1, V.A.C.C.P., has been satisfied. Wilson v. State, Tex.Cr. App., 473 S.W.2d 532 (recovery of stolen vehicle); Ashley v. State, supra (identification of keys in defendant's possession); Stelman v. State, 123 Tex.Cr.R. 330 , 58 S.W.2d 831 (location of victim and victim's wound); Sweat v. State, 115 Tex. Cr.R. 130, 29 S.W.2d 756 (location of burglary and identification of stolen property); Williams v. State, 115 Tex.Cr.R. 28 , 27 S.W.2d 233 (location of murder). "The foregoing authorities dictate that Article 38.22, Section 1(e), V.A.C.C.P., requires that some evidence be found as a result of the defendant's statement which bolsters the reliability of the facts and circumstances in the statement that conduce to establish guilt."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Port v. State · R.L.S., Matter Of““1. The oral or written confession of a defendant made while the defendant was in jail or other place of confinement or in the custody of an officer shall be admissible if: “(e) It be made orally and the defendant makes a statement of facts or circumstances that are found to be true, which conduce to establish his guilt, such as the finding of secreted or stolen property, or the instrument with which he states the offense was committed.””
