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.
“As his first assignment of error, the appellant contends that the circuit court erred by denying a hearing on his Motion to Reduce Sentences filed pursuant to Rule 35[b].... Having examined the record, we do not find that the circuit court abused its discretion by not holding a hearing on the appellant's Rule 35(b] motion. The record establishes that the circuit court held lengthy hearings when the appellant pled ghilty and when he was sentenced. Thus, we find no merit to the appellant's contention, that the circuit court was required to hold another hearing to consider his motion for a reduction of sentences.”
