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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The better rule is that the particular circumstances of each case must be considered to determine whether the dismissal following suppression of evidence should be considered indicative of innocence. See [Union Oil of California v.] Watson, 468 So.2d [349,] 353 [ (Fla.Dist.Ct.App.), review denied, 479 So.2d 119 (Fla.1985) ]. If the circumstances show that unreliable evidence has been suppressed and the prosecution then abandons the case because of lack of sufficient reliable evidence, that would be a circumstance where the dismissal is indicative of innocence, just as any dismissal for lack of proof is generally considered indicative of innocence. See Bryant [v. Whalen], 759 F.Supp. [410], 419 [ (N.D.Ill.1991) ]; Wynne v. Rosen, 391 Mass. 797, 464 N.E.2d 1348, 1351 (1984). If a confession is suppressed because involuntarily coerced, then the evidence was not reliable and a subsequent voluntary dismissal based on lack of evidence would be indicative of innocence. On the other hand, if the evidence was only suppressed on “technical” grounds having no or little relation to the evidence’s trustworthiness, then the fact that there was not other sufficient evidence would not be indicative of innocence. Cf. Rich v. Baldwin, 133 Ill.App.3d 712 , [ 88 Ill.Dec. 748, 752 ] 479 N.E.2d 361, 365 (5th Dist.1985); Bryant, 759 F.Supp. at 419; Wynne, 464 N.E.2d at 1351 ; Scannell v. Riverside County, 152 Cal.App.3d 596 , 199 Cal.Rptr. 644, 652 (1984); Watson, 468 So.2d at 353.”
