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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When an arrest is made without a warrant and a lineup is conducted there is no constitutional right to counsel; however, even then the accused is constitutionally protected against unnecessarily suggestive procedures. We noted in Forbes v. State, [ 559 S.W.2d 318 (Tenn. 1977)], that `since the identification occurred during the investigative phase and prior to arrest, we are not dealing with the Sixth Amendment right to counsel.' However, we considered the Due Process aspect and determined that the identification procedure was not impermissibly suggestive.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Frasier“We hold that right to counsel attaches when adversary judicial proceedings are initiated. Initiation is marked by formal charge, which we construe to be an arrest warrant, or at the time of the preliminary hearing in those rare cases where a preliminary hearing is not preceded by an arrest warrant, or by indictment or presentment when the charge is initiated by the grand jury.”
