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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The general rule is that once the defendant voluntarily takes the stand before the jury he is subject to the same rules as any other witness, he may be impeached, contradicted, made to give evidence against himself, cross-examined as to new matters, and treated in every respect as any other witness testifying in his behalf except when there are overriding constitutional or statutory prohibitions. Jenkins v. Anderson, 447 U.S. 231 , 100 S.Ct. 2124 , 65 L.Ed.2d 86 (1980). One of these exceptions was addressed by the Supreme Court of the United States in Doyle v. Ohio, [ 426 U.S. 610 , 96 S.Ct. 2240 , 49 L.Ed.2d 91 (1976)]. The use of the appellant’s silence for impeachment purposes after the time of arrest and after he received Miranda warnings is a violation of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
