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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[b]y discarding the aluminum foil package, before the police took him into custody, Williams abandoned [the property] and deprived himself of any right to privacy. See California v. Hodari D. , 499 U.S. 621 , 629 , 111 S.Ct. 1547 , 113 L.Ed.2d 690 (1991); Harper v. State , 635 So.2d 864 , 867 (Miss. 1994); Bessent v. State , 808 So.2d 979 , 985-86 (¶ 20) (Miss.Ct.App. 2001). Indeed, the facts of Hodari , in which the defendant abandoned the cocaine he possessed while fleeing from the police, uniquely fit the facts of the case before us. Williams abandoned the crack cocaine before the police took him into custody; it was not the fruit of an illegal seizure.”
