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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"`A restraint or detention by a public servant pursuant to a lawful arrest, conviction or order of court, but does not include mere supervision of probation or parole, or constraint incidental to release on bail.' "We do not find that the appellant was in the custody of a public servant when he failed to return to jail from work at Aamco Transmission Service. His status was more closely akin to that of a person on probation, parole, or on bail than to a person in actual custody. Appellant was not `in' custody while at work, but was out of custody with orders to report back into custody at a specific time. Therefore, he could not have escaped `from' custody. He simply failed to return to custody." Grimes , 402 So.2d at 1096 .”
