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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) Easterwood’s promise is positive— if appellant was used as an informant, Easterwood ‘would help him on this case;’ (2) Easterwood was a law enforcement officer, a person in authority; (3) appellant would benefit from the plea bargain by having a police officer ‘help him on this case;’ (4) the circumstances were such as would likely influence appellant to speak untruthfully due to the fact that he wanted to appear to be an important, influential person in drug-related activities, to induce the police to use him as an informant.”
