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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“■:“ * * * If a prosecutor inquires concerning a prior conviction and is unable - to prove the conviction, a determination • as to whether he acted improperly de- ' pends on the facts and circumstances. Here the record does not show whether ■. the District Attorney was able to refute ■ the denial. In fact, the record does not disclose the nature of the District Attorney’s information concerning the prior forgery conviction. Accordingly, we do ■ not have sufficient information before us • to hold, as a matter of law, that the Dis- . trict Attorney acted improperly in asking about ‘any other’ convictions.””

Biswell“The requirement that warrants shall particularly describe the things to be seized makes general searches under them impossible and prevents the seizure of one thing under a warrant describing another. As to what is to be taken, nothing is left to the discretion of the officer executing the warrant.”
