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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In summary, the purposes of Article 3A 3 as stated in G.S. 148-49.1 were to improve the chances of rehabilitating youthful offenders: (1) by segregating them, as far as practicable, from older and more experienced criminals; and (2) by providing the court with `an additional sentencing possibility' to be used for correctional punishment and treatment in cases where, in its opinion, a youthful offender required imprisonment only for the time necessary for the Board of Paroles to determine his suitability for a return to supervised freedom. Article 3A, ipsissimis verbis , could have no application to capital cases. "As defined in Article 3A, `a "youthful offender" is a person under the age of 21 at the time of conviction , and a "committed youthful offender" is one committed to the custody of the Commissioner of Correction under the provisions of this Article.' G.S. 148-49.2. "Upon a youthful offender's conviction of an offense punishable by imprisonment G.S. 148-49.4 authorized the court, `in lieu of the penalty of imprisonment otherwise provided by law,' to sentence him to the custody of the Commissioner of Correction for supervision and treatment pursuant to Article 3A until discharged at the expiration of the maximum term imposed or released conditionally or unconditionally by the Board of Paroles." (Footnote and emphasis added).”

Stats., ch. 17 by a prisoner to inquire into the legality of his restraint. The remedy, if any, is by petition for cer-tiorari addressed to the sound discretion of the appropriate appellate court.”
