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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The judicial power to modify a judgment and sentence, and the executive power to pardon, parole, or commute, are wholly distinct in their nature. The one is an award of justice, and the other is an act of grace. Commutation is a matter of discretion, and may be refused. Justice is imperative, and must not be denied... . In other words, the provisions of our criminal procedure act make it the duty of this court to review the record, and in a proper case, if necessary in the furtherance of justice, modify the judgment so as to prevent the imposition of punishment which the evidence will not warrant." (Emphasis supplied.) (Quoting from Fritz v. State, 8 Okl. Cr. 238, 128 P. 170, 177 [1912].) Id. at 635-636, 203 P. at 283 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Adams““The preponderance of judicial authority, Avhile recognizing the rule of law above stated, concedes the power of an appellate court, at any time during the term at which a judgment is rendered, to set it aside when it was improvidently given, in consequence of a false suggestion or under a mistake of facts.” (Citing Livesley v. Johnston, 47 Or. 193 , 82 P. 854 .)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Waddell“We perceive no logical reason why ..., in a case where there was error in the record, but not of such a character as to warrant a reversal, in order to avoid the imposition of the extreme penalty when not warranted by the evidence, this court should be put to the alternative of reversing the judgment nevertheless or of permitting injustice to be done”
