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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e must avoid tunnel vision as to the “twenty years or more” language because, although ... a judgment of conviction imposing a sentence of twenty (20) years or longer must be appealed to this Court, Shepherd v. Commonwealth, 739 S.W.2d 540 (Ky.1987), our rules do not authorize such an appeal from all orders affecting criminal sentences of “twenty years or more.” Williams v. Venters, 550 S.W.2d 547, 548 (Ky.1977) (“A judgment or order denying a post-conviction motion, however, is not a judgment ‘imposing a sentence.’ Hence an appeal from it is addressable to the Court of Appeals.”).”
