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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he record discloses that the trial court inquired of the prosecutor, ‘Mr. Solicitor do any of [the three defendants] have a prior criminal record?’ The prosecutor answered ‘Only Mr. Dearen . . . ’ Inasmuch as the State appears to have stipulated that neither the defendant Mills nor the defendant Albert had a criminal record, we hold that the trial court erred in failing to find this fact in mitigation.”
