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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“adopt[ed] the general rule, enunciated by a majority of states in which this issue has been decided, that the ... rule [that an out-of-court statement by a -witness, like a deposition, admitted into evidence in a criminal case may not be taken into the jury room during the deliberations, see People v. Montoya, 773 P.2d 623 (Colo.App.1989) ] does not apply to a transcript of a voluntary confession by the defendant which has passed all tests of admissibility and thus has been admitted into evidence. People v. Caldwell, 39 Ill.2d 346 , 236 N.E.2d 706 (1968), 37 A.L.R.3d 226 ; see Annot., 37 A.L.R.3d 23 [8] (1971). As was stated in Caldwell, supra: “A ... confession which has been shown by the state to be free from coercive conditions is among the strongest kinds of physical evidence the prosecution may produce, and when the tests of admissibility have been met and the defense afforded the full opportunity to point out any circumstances which may go to undermine the credibility of the confession in the eyes of the jury, (as occurred in the present case) there appears to us no valid reason to preclude the transcript of the ... confession from going to the jury along with other exhibits which the trial judge may deem proper.””
