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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The United States Supreme Court specifically held in Pearce that the trial judge is not precluded from imposing a new sentence whether greater or less than the original sentence where in the light of events subsequent to the first sentencing there has been new light thrown upon defendant’s conduct and moral propensities. Here, the reopening of defendant’s case revealed additional evidence showing that he had in fact been convicted of the illegal possession of a firearm on a previous occassion. The trial judge set forth the reasons for imposing a longer sentence and has thus fully complied with North Carolina v. Pearce, supra, and the decisions of the Florida courts following that decision, (citations omitted) Vidal v. Florida, supra, 300 So.2d at 689 .”
