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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] failure to make timely objection to any alleged error or deficiency or to pursue the same on appeal ordinarily will preclude review by writ of habeas corpus. However, an otherwise valid procedural bar will not preclude a habeas corpus court from considering alleged constitutional errors or deficiencies if there shall be a showing of adequate cause for failure to object or to pursue on appeal and a showing of actual prejudice to the accused.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“Many of the errors Hardin urged on ha-beas corpus were not of constitution dimension, and were therefore beyond the purview of the writ. As to her constitutional claims the record is silent as to a “showing of adequate cause for failure to object or to pursue on appeal and a showing of actual prejudice to the accused.” The record reflects no miscarriage of justice. Accordingly, Hardin’s petition is beyond the scope of the writ of habeas corpus.”
