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.

“shall not run concurrently, unless expressly ordered by the court”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Section 19-269 applies only to the serving of sentences to confinement in prison. An order granting probation is not a sentence to confinement. Indeed, it has exactly the opposite effect. A probation order stays, relieves, or prevents a person from confinement in prison. The language of the orders cannot be construed to mean that after the expiration of the one-year probation period there were other probation periods fixed to run consecutively for two, three and four years thereafter.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“did not have the right or power ... after the orders had become final, to change the sentences and require that two of them should run consecutively.”
