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.
“The theory of sections 1941 and 1942 of the Penal Law (the so-called Baumes Laws), which prescribe increased punishment for previous felony offenders is that they have not reformed since their first offense but have persisted in breaking the law.... These statutes are mandatory. They provide a "mechanistic rule" to take the place of the discretionary powers of the court in passing sentence on prior felony offenders.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“We think that the Court of General Sessions was required to pronounce judgment but it was not required to impose sentence of a prison term. It is within the discretion of the Court of General Sessions to impose a prison sentence or to suspend sentence.”
