The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“Our legislature has demonstrated it knows how. to restrict the discretion of the board of parole when it wishes to do so. It may do so by prescribing a minimum sentence for a particular offense. It may also do so by- precluding parole, as with a .life sentence. It may limit eligibility for parole, as it has done for persons imprisoned for felonies like see-ond-degree murder under .the criminal code which will take effect January 1, 1978.”
