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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “The [State's] reasoning [that the new sentence may be greater or may differ materially in effect from the previous sentence] would be correct if the entire March 16th sentence were invalid. Such, however, is not the situation here. Only the separate sentence for possession was illegal. The five year sentence for sale was not invalid by itself. Where two separate judgments or sentences are imposed together the legality of each must be determined separately.”

  2. “Where two separate judgments or sentences are imposed together, the legality of each must be determined separately .... It is further established that a trial court is generally without power to set aside a criminal judgment after it has been partly satisfied .... There are, of course, various exceptions to this rule”
