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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Preliminarily, we note that the father was not a State agent. The mere fact that no agency relationship existed, however, would not necessarily preclude a finding that the confession was involuntary. In Watts v. State, 99 Md. 30 , 57 A. 542 (1904) for example, a reporter’s exhortation to a defendant to confess rendered the defendant’s confession involuntary. In a recent analysis of the case, the Court of Appeals noted that the plea to confess was made ‘with the sheriff present.’ Hillard, 286 Md. at 152 , 406 A.2d 415 .”
