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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Megarry's convictions stemmed from a sex offense that occurred prior to the 2008 effective date of the Adam Walsh Act; therefore, they were governed instead by Ohio's version of Megan's Law. * * * Megan's Law sex-offender classification proceedings are remedial instead of punitive, civil in nature, and not part of the criminal sentence.”
