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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Following Childs v. Amrine, 155 Kan. 383 , 125 P.2d 349 , it is held: `Under the provisions of the 1927 habitual criminal act (G.S. 1935, 21-107a) it was intended, in the event a second felony was committed, to double the punishment which would have been imposed if defendant had been a first offender. The sentence to be doubled is that sentence which ordinarily would have been imposed for the first commission of the second offense and not the sentence prescribed for the commission of the first felony for which the person was previously convicted.'" (Syl. ¶ 1.)”
