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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]hat the decision of this court in this case `passes upon a question * * * of great public interest' whether a defendant convicted and serving a sentence thereon who is paroled and thereafter is convicted and sentenced on a subsequent charge, and is serving such intermediate sentence with time remaining to be served thereafter in order to complete the first sentence, has standing to move in the trial court under Rule 1.850 CrPR for relief from the first conviction and sentence."”
