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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * We do not construe the Griffin case to mean that every person convicted of a felony, whether affluent or impoverished, who has not appealed his conviction, may subsequently have his conviction reviewed by an appellate court in an extraordinary proceeding without specifying sound legal reasons why his conviction should be reviewed. For us to conclude otherwise would disrupt the orderly administration of the criminal law, would place a tremendous additional burden on appellate courts, and would cause an unjustified expenditure of public funds to finance possibly frivolous appeals of indigent prisoners. * * * »”
