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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An escape is not justified on the ground that conditions of imprisonment are intolerable and inhumane so as to give the prisoner or escapee reason to believe or fear for his personal safety.” State v. Alberigo, 109 Ariz. 294 , 508 P.2d 1156 (1973), reaff’d in State v. Mulalley, supra.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Wolf · State v. Mulalley““The instruction requested by defendant was taken from People v. Webster, 237 Cal.App.2d 232 , 46 Cal.Rptr. 699 (1965), in which the defendant claimed his companion threatened to kill him if he would not go along. The facts distinguish this case from the instant case and the instruction is only applicable in the specific circumstances of that case. “[1] It is well settled law that conditions in a prison afford no justification for escape.
