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 114 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Respondent initially contends that his statements were inadmissible as the fruits of an ifiegal arrest. The legality of that arrest cannot, as earlier noted, be determined from the record * * *. The State’s failure to present other evidence concerning the arrest obviously resulted from respondent’s failure to raise the issue in the trial court. We hold that, in such circumstances, the issue has been waived and cannot be raised for the first time on appeal.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““While it would have been preferable to have had the benefit of Officer Blackley’s testimony, we do not regard its absence, in the circumstances of this case, as reversible error. Given the lack of specificity in the motion to suppress and the resulting inability of the State to determine in advance of respondent’s testimony which of its witnesses would be essential, the uncertainty whether Officer Blackley was even present at the time of the alleged coercion, the State’s explanation of his absence and expressed willingness to call any witnesses deemed necessary by the court if a continuance were allowed, together with the equivocal nature of defense counsel’s comments regarding Officer Blackley’s absence, we believe the trial court’s action was not unreasonable.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““The burden of going forward with the evidence and the burden of proving that a confession was voluntary shall be on the State. Objection to the failure of the State to call all material witnesses on the issue of whether the confession was voluntary must be made in the trial court.” (Emphasis added.)”
