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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“where a person is convicted of a felony and perfects an appeal to this Court and escapes from custody pending his appeal such action shall be deemed an abandonment of the appeal and will be subject to a motion by the state to dismiss such appeal. However, such dismissal shall be subject to be reinstated on motion of appellant showing good cause therefor.”
