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.

“The guiding principle is reasonableness, and each case is evaluated based upon the totality of the circumstances known to the officers at the time of the warrantless entry.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“And I want to make it clear, the defendant is not charged with rape. And we are not saying he was able to consummate an act of rape, but what we are saying is that it is possible that during this course of time the defendant decided to satisfy some other sort of need, some other desire. That would explain why Veronica Lee was found naked in the closet, when she was first [sic] seen by her mother in a rose colored gown. That would explain the fact that there are scratches on the arms of the defendant. Did he take off his clothes and then wake the girl up? Did she surprise him? We really don’t know. (Petition, p. 9).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““It is, of course, as we have repeatedly recognized, the jury’s responsibility to resolve factual disputes, assess the credibility of the witnesses, and determine the weight and sufficiency of the evidence [citation], and its judgment will not be reversed unless the evidence is so unsatisfactory or improbable that a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of defendant remains.” People v.
