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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Unlike the tip in Alabama v. White, however, the tip in the instant matter did not predict behavior that showed a familiarity with Goodwin’s personal affairs. Anyone in Goodwin’s office building could have known what she was wearing that day, which kind of car she drove and where she parked it, and that she went to lunch around noon. The intimate knowledge found in Alabama v. White is simply not present here.”
