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.
“"After a plea of guilty, only the excessiveness or illegality of the sentence may be considered upon an appeal. ORS 138.050; State v. Jairl, 229 Or. 533, 541-542 , 368 P.2d 323 (1962). A sentence may be excessive because it is beyond the maximum statutory penalty, or because it is `cruel or unusual.' State v. Montgomery, 237 Or. 593 , 392 P.2d 642 (1964). A sentence may also be attacked at any time if the statute under which it is imposed is unconstitutional. In this appeal, the defendant alleges that the punishment is cruel or unusual, and that the statute under which it is imposed is unconstitutional."”
