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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The trial court is required to grant the Applicant pre-sentence jail time credit when sentence is pronounced. In the event the court fails to award such credit at the time the sentence is imposed, the trial court has the authority to correct the judgment to reflect the appropriate time credit by nunc pro tunc order and should do so. Further, we have held that matters which may be raised and resolved by nunc pro tunc proceedings should not be considered by way of writ of habeas corpus. The appropriate remedy in this situation is to require Applicant to present the issue to the trial court by way of a nunc pro tunc motion, as Applicant alleges he has done in this case. If the trial court fails to respond, Applicant is first required to seek relief in the Court of Appeals, by way of a petition for a writ of mandamus, unless there is a compelling reason not to do so.”
