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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The outcome of a properly conducted [sentencing hearing] could have been a sentence as low as 20 years imprisonment. * * * A full remedy for the constitutional shortcoming at the original sentencing hearing entails allowing [the defendant] to seek that lower sentence now. Although the [S]tate contends that the Governor's commutation bars that option as a matter of state law, the Constitution supercedes any incompatible state principles.”
