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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the Act applies to those who stand before the court currently convicted or adjudicated delinquent for a felony sex offense or other specified offense or those serving a sentence for a felony sex offense or other specified offense. Since Bingaman was not incarcerated because of a felony sex offense or other specified offense, he did not fall within the purview of the DNA Act.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“When read as a whole, it is evident that the General Assembly did not tailor the Act to apply to those incarcerated for non-predicate offenses . . . Instead, the Act applies to those who stand before the court for a felony sex offense or other specified offense or those serving a sentence for a felony sex offense or other specified offense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“and who serves a term of confinement in connection therewith on or after [the effective date of the statute] shall not be released in any manner unless and until a DNA sample has been withdrawn.”
