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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Where an unreasonable search and seizure is conducted, no evidence obtained, no matter how probative of guilt of the accused, may be introduced at the trial of the defendant. Jackson v. State, 418 So.2d 827, 829 (Miss.1982). The supreme court has noted that the "Fourth Amendment's rule against warrantless searches is subject to a few specifically established and well delineated exceptions." Graves v. State, 708 So.2d 858 (¶ 22)(Miss.1997)(quoting Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 357 , 88 S.Ct. 507 , 19 L.Ed.2d 576 (1967)). Among the most important exceptions is the consent of the person with control over the premises to be searched, Townsend v. State, 681 So.2d 497, 501 (Miss.1996). The totality of the relevant circumstances must be examined in determining whether consent was voluntarily made, a decision initially for the trial judge who is best able to adjudge the credibility of those testifying. Jones v. State, 607 So.2d 23, 28 (Miss.1991).”
