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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he trial court does have the discretion in this case to grant bail (see Stalnaker v. State, 1936, 126 Fla. 407 , 171 So. 226 and Gray v. State, Fla. 1951, 54 So.2d 436 ) and has not lost the authority to do so, notwithstanding, Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 [ 92 S.Ct. 2726 , 33 L.Ed.2d 346 ] (1972), wherein the death penalty was abolished. We do not believe that Donaldson, supra, or Fla. Const. art. I, § 14, divests the trial court from exercising his discretion in granting or denying bail after conviction in cases where the punishment is mandatory life imprisonment.”
