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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The word `convicted,' as used in the statute, means the adjudication by the court of the defendant's guilt and the pronouncement by the court of the penalty imposed on the defendant upon the acceptance of a plea of guilty or upon a verdict of guilty, or a finding of guilty by the court. — It has nothing to do with the actual service of imprisonment as the result of the sentence imposed pursuant to the adjudication of guilt."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“(1) that the accused be convicted of a felony; (2) that such person, after said conviction, commit another felony in this state; and (3) that he be convicted of such second felony.”
