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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]ll the circumstances surrounding the statement must be considered in determining if the defendant’s will was overborne by the promise. The nature of the promise must be considered.... The waiver of Miranda rights, while not dispositive of the question of voluntariness, is an important consideration. Other factors to consider include the defendant’s physical and mental state, the length of questioning, the presence of police coercion or intimidation, and the withholding of food, water, or other physical needs.”
