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.
““Eligible Offender” means any person convicted of a felony offense, other than a capital felony offense, or murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, first degree rape or kidnapping, or aggravated robbery and who has never been previously convicted of a felony offense, and whose interests, and the interests of the State, in the opinion of the sentencing trial court, could be [better] served by diversion under the provisions of this Act than by sentencing under other applicable penalty provisions established by law. Those persons under the age of twenty-six (26) years at the time of the commission of a felony offense, other than a capital felony offense, or murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, first degree rape or kidnapping, or aggravated robbery for which they are convicted shall still be “Eligible Offenders” under this Act if they had one (1) previous felony conviction other than a conviction for a capital felony offense, or murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, first degree rape or kidnapping or aggravated robbery.”
