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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The fact that an individual accused of crime testifies that certain premises described in a search warrant are occupied by more than one family does not of itself require the court before whom the motion is filed to sustain the motion to suppress evidence where there are physical facts which refute the testimony of the accused. In this case, the defendant was present at the premises when the search was made. He was living in the main house with his family * * *. The physical facts would indicate that the defendant Staley had the complete control of all the premises unless it was the two stalls in the barn which were rented to Simmons, but that fact would not have affected the validity of the warrant.””
