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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[I]t is clear that the word ‘custody’ connotes a concept quite different from incarceration or imprisonment. Further enlightenment regarding the plain meaning of ‘custody’ in the context of criminal law may be drawn by analogy to use of that concept in habeas corpus proceed-mgs. Traditionally the writ served the function of releasing a person from actual restraint, and early cases would only consider granting it to one in actual physical detention. Now, of course, the concept of ‘custody’ has been expanded, so that anyone subject to restraints not shared by the ‘public generally’ may be heard to seek the writ, for example, persons free on bail, on their own recognizance, on parole, on probation, and the like.” (citations omitted)”
