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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Super.Ct.Crim.R. 5(a) provides that an arresting officer “shall take the arrested person without unnecessary delay before the Court.” We have held that a confession obtained during a period of unnecessary delay is inadmissible in evidence. But we have further held, repeatedly, that “a valid waiver of an individual’s Miranda rights is also a waiver of his Mallory right to presentment without unnecessary delay.””
