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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] confession or statement relating to culpability may be admitted into evidence if it is given freely and voluntarily, and without the influence of promises or threats. Pinkney v. State, 538 So.2d 329, 342 (Miss.1988).... A volunteered statement, voiced without prompting or interrogation, is admissible in evidence if made prior to the warning and of course if it were voluntarily and spontaneously made subsequent to [the Miranda warning ], it would remain admissible in evidence. Burge v. State, 282 So.2d 223, 226 (Miss.1973). Furthermore, this Court has said an officer is not required to turn a “deaf ear” to such statements. Burge, 282 So.2d at 226 . This Court will not reverse a trial court’s finding regarding the admission of a [culpable statement] unless it is manifestly wrong. Lockett v. State, 517 So.2d 1317, 1328 (Miss.1987).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“under the influence of intoxicating liquor,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The State clearly could require the criminal defendant to take a blood test and then introduce the results of that test into evidence against him under this state's case law. It follows that the State could require the defendant take a breathalyzer test and introduce those results against him. The very nature of a drunk driving charge makes it critical for the State to obtain the necessary evidence before that evidence dissipates with time. Therefore, the penalty of introducing the refusal serves an important state interest in encouraging defendants to take the test. And as the refusal is physical instead of testimonial, its introduction into evidence violates neither the Fifth Amendment nor § 26.”
