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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A motion to set aside a ... judgment is not an appropriate remedy in a criminal case. [Cits.] A motion in arrest of judgment must be filed at the term when the verdict and judgment are rendered, as the trial court has no power over the judgment after the term in which it was rendered has passed. [Cits.] The appellant's motion was not filed within the time provided by law to be considered as a motion for new trial. [Cits.] Finally, the motion does not contain the necessary allegations to receive consideration as an extraordinary motion for new trial. [Cits.] Therefore, the motion was not timely filed and the judgment overruling it, being treated as a dismissal [cit.], the judgment of the trial court must be affirmed.”
