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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When a defendant challenges the volun-tariness of his statement, the trial court must hold an evidentiary hearing outside the jury’s presence to determine the admissibility of the confession. Millsap v. State, 767 So.2d 286 [, 291] (¶ 14) (Miss.Ct.App.2000). The State must prove the voluntariness of the statement beyond a reasonable doubt. Id. The State establishes a prima facie case of voluntariness when the officer, or other person having knowledge of the facts, ■ testifies that “the confession was voluntarily made without any threats, coercion, or offer of reward.” Id. When- the State establishes its prima facie case of voluntariness, the defendant must then rebut the State’s assertion of voluntariness. Sykes v. State, 749 So.2d 239 [, 243] (¶ 15) (Miss.Ct.App.1999).”
