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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Examining the constitutional debates and the related constitutional provision of Art. 1, Section 20, we found that the constitutional intent was only to save a first offender from appearing before the pardon board to secure restoration of his basic rights of citizenship. The constitutional provision was not intended to restore the status of innocence, nor to affect the use of the prior conviction for purposes of enhanced sentence as a multiple offender upon subsequent convictions.”
