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.

1. ““After careful examination of the record, we find that the error, if any, in permitting Officer Endicott to testify as to the defendant’s silence at the time of his arrest was cured by failure to object and request admonition by the court, and by defendant’s own testimony in his own defense that he chose to remain silent before having an attorney present. “We are therefore strongly persuaded that defendant’s own testimony at trial cured the error he now asserts on review and for this reason we find defendant’s third assignment of error to be without merit.” [Footnote omitted]”
