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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court may correct any unlawful sentence or one imposed in an unlawful manner within 60 days of the entry of judgment and sentence but before the defendant’s appeal, if any, is filed.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Does the court have inherent power to modify a sentence? The answer is in the negative. There is no such power in the superior court. . . . Therefore, the trial court’s jurisdiction in post-tnal motions is limited to that set out in the Rules, and an exercise of that jurisdiction is permissible only upon the grounds specified therein.”
