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

1. ““It appears to be the almost universal rule that as a matter pf common law, where a defendant has entered upon the execution- of a valid-sentence, the court has no jurisdiction, even during the term at which the sentence was rendered, to set it aside and render a new sentence. [Citations omitted.] Nor can it indefinitely suspend the execution of its sentence, after the same has been pronounced, either in whole or in part, and any such order, made either after judgment or as a part thereof, is wholly void. [Citations omitted.] Therefore, as a matter of common law, the order of the court suspending the further execution of the sentence after defendant had served a considerable period of the time set forth therein in jail was beyond its jurisdiction and void.” 30 Ariz. at 267 , 246 P. at 550 .”
