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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he law examines the person’s connection to the event and his or her probable motive for bringing the information to the police. When a person’s primary motive is to obtain an official concession or reap some other personal benefit, the law requires greater corroboration of the person’s information. If, however, the individual comes forward without concern for personal benefit, the law requires less corroboration.”
