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 108 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘When a “fact is not necessarily determined in a former trial, the possibility that it may have been does not prevent re-examination of that issue.” Id, quoting Adams v. United States, 287 F.2d 701, 705 (5th Cir.1961) [emphasis in original].’”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“it may completely bar a subsequent prosecution where one of the facts necessarily determined in the former trial is an essential element to the conviction the Government now seeks.”
