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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Witness immunity is characterized as either transactional immunity or use immunity. Transactional immunity provides a witness full immunity from prosecution for crimes arising from any transaction concerning which the witness was compelled to testify.... Use immunity, on the other hand, prohibits the use or derivative use of any testimony compelled over a claim of privilege_ Use immunity does not prohibit prosecution for all crimes arising out of the transaction testified to so long as the prosecution’s evidence is obtained from a source wholly independent of the compelled testimony.”
