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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“impose a just sentence anywhere within the range authorized by statute.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“On July 15, 1980, when appellant committed the crime of first degree escape, he was confined at the Avondale Center because of the offenses committed on May 14, 1980 — not because of the crime for which he was imprisoned in 1976. Therefore, the “original sentence or sentences” for which appellant was confined at the time of the escape would have been those for the armed robberies in CR-112701, even though sentencing took place on May 14, 1981 — approximately ten months after the actual day of the escape. We believe this interpretation is consistent with the legislative intent that a prisoner suffer additional punishment for an escape beyond the punishment imposed for the crime which originally resulted in the confinement. This interpretation also comports with A.R.S. § 13-709(B), which requires pre-sentence confinement credit against a sentence for all time actually spent in custody until such time as a defendant is actually sentenced on an offense. It is apparent that the legislature intended to make certain that all custodial confinement, not just confinement after sentencing, is credited to a defendant’s sentence. Thus, the present criminal code provides that the moment a defendant is “confined”, the defendant in effect begins serving any sentence that is later pronounced.”
