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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As a distillation of these decisions § 139 has come to be interpreted to mean that the crime of escape takes places either (1) in the county where the physical departure actually occurs, or (2) in the county where the institution is located, which is the ‘prisoner’s place of confinement’ and from which his ‘constructive’ departure occurs. Since the Legislature has elected, following these decisions, not to amend the statute, but rather has acquiesced in its judicial construction there is a strong presumption that the intention of the Legislature and the words used by it have been correctly interpreted and such interpretation should not be disregarded.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““[Although the prohibited act may physically take place in a separate geographical area, the effects of that act occur at the place of confinement. The concurrence of the act with its resultant effect thus permits venue in the subdivision where the ‘place of confinement’ is located. See Urciolo v. State, 272 Md. 607, 631 , 325 A.2d 878, 892 (1974).””
