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

1. “The court shall allow the allegation of a prior conviction or other pending charge of a violation of § 28-692 filed twenty or more days before the date the case is actually tried and may in its discretion allow the allegation of a prior conviction or other pending charge of a violation of § 28-692 filed any time prior to the date the case is actually tried, provided that when the allegation is filed this state must make available to the defendant a copy of any information obtained concerning the prior conviction or other pending charge. The sequence of court dispositions of pending cases is immaterial if the offenses were committed within 60 months.”

2. “If a person is convicted of a third or subsequent violation of § 28-692 ... within a period of sixty months, the person is guilty of a class 5 felony and shall not be eligible for probation, pardon, parole, commutation or suspension of sentence or release on any other basis except as specifically authorized by § 31-233 subsection A or B until the person has served not less than six months in prison. The dates of the commission of the offense are the determining factor in applying this subsection. (Emphasis added).”
