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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the probable cause determination in this case was not made timely, it was made prior to [Petitioner’s] interview with Detective Edwards. Further, the interview with Detective Edwards concerned the abuse of [VW], not the homicide victim. [Petitioner] claims his statements to Detective Edwards should have been suppressed as he was influenced by the coercive atmosphere. [Petitioner] does not explain his claim. Our review of the record shows [Petitioner] was not coerced into giving evidence he otherwise would not have given. The trial court found his statements were made knowingly and voluntarily. Therefore, the failure to have the probable cause determination timely was harmless error as [Petitioner’s] statements were not a product of an illegal detention.”
