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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The fact that the issue of the unconstitutionality of the penalty Appellant received was raised on a de novo on the record appeal, and that the District Court had authority to receive new objections and defenses on a de novo on the record appeal, distinguishes the case at bar from State vs. Mercer, [supra], and related cases where the Court has held that for a question of constitutionality to be considered on appeal, it must have been properly raised in the trial court.”
