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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Whether consent to entry was given voluntarily is a question of fact to be determined from the totality of the circumstances. . . . No one factor is controlling on the question of voluntariness; . . . which is normally to be decided by the trial court based on the evidence and the reasonable inferences drawn from that evidence. . . . The determination to be made is whether the will of the consenting individual was overborne, or whether the consent was his unconstrained choice. . . . The State must establish that the consent was voluntary and not the product of coercion or acquiescence to a claim of lawful authority." State v. Cobbs , 7 Conn. App. 656 , 510 A.2d 213 , 215 (1986) (citations omitted).”
