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.
“Mrs. Terry’s attempt to contact an attorney did not constitute the invocation of Terry’s right to counsel. The record does not show that Terry exercised his right to counsel by requesting that his mother try to reach an attorney_ Although “we must give a broad interpretation to a defendant’s request for counsel” ... there is no legal support for the argument that Mrs. Terry could invoke the right to counsel on behalf of her son.”
