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

  1. “(а) Subject Property. The following shall be subject to forfeiture to the United States and no property rights shall exist in them: (б) All money ... or other things of value, furnished or intended to be furnished by any person in exchange for a controlled substance in violation of this sub-chapter, all proceeds traceable to such an exchange, ... except that no property shall be forfeited under this paragraph, to the extent of the interest of an owner, by reason of any act or omission established by that owner to have been committed or omitted without the knowledge or consent of that owner.”
    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
  2. “[ T]o the extent that “innocent” owners have a stake in such property, no forfeiture can occur. Where, as here, that stake encompasses a right to receive continuing interest payments on unpaid principal, we hold that the innocent owner is entitled to receive such payments from the government, even after the property has been seized, until the principal is repaid.”

  3. “[s]uch a result would deprive Metmor of its stake in the forfeited property and would constitute a taking without due process.... The forfeiture cannot change the nature of Metmor's rights as an innocent mortgagee.”
