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.
““We can only determine the legislative intent to have been that the prisoner file the request (no particular form is necessary) with the warden within 30 days of the prisoner’s notification of the indictment and that it is the warden’s obligation to prepare the statement and to deliver it by certified mail to the appropriate State’s attorney and court. We recognize that by this construction there is no time limitation within which the warden is to so deliver the request and statement and that the time limitation within which the prisoner must be brought to trial dates from the time his request is delivered to the State’s attorney and court. Thus the prisoner may be precluded from invoking the Act by the failure of the warden to deliver the request as required for no sanction is provided by the statute for such failure. While we may construe statutes within the legislative intent, we cannot enact legislation and we may not presume a sanction when none is provided.” (Footnote omitted). Id. at 659-660 .”
