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.

1. ““D. If a person serving a sentence of imprisonment escapes from custody, the escape interrupts the sentence. The interruption continues until the person is apprehended and confined for the escape or is confined and subject to a detainer for the escape. Time spent in actual custody prior to return under this subsection shall be credited against the term authorized by law if custody rested on an arrest or surrender for the escape itself, or if the custody arose from an arrest on another charge which culminated in a dismissal or an acquittal, and the person was denied admission to bail pending disposition of that charge because of a warrant lodged against such person arising from the escape.””

2. ““ * * * [I]t is clear that the statutory framework will not allow the defendant’s presentence custody to be credited against his prior term, contrary to the trial judge’s ruling. In order to therefore effectuate the mandate of A.R.S. § 13-709(B) that credit be granted for presentenee incarceration, the only remaining avenue is to credit the 130 days against the armed robbery convictions.” State v. Wallis, 132 Ariz. 453, 454 , 646 P.2d 884, 885 (App.1982).”
