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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Does the rule of exclusion announced in State v. Sarmiento, 397 So.2d 643 (Fla. 1981), and Hoberman v. State, 400 So.2d 758 (Fla. 1981), provide grounds for post-conviction relief when raised for the first time in a Rule 3.850 proceeding by a defendant whose conviction became final before these decisions were filed?”

  2. “Ideally, the retroactive effect of a decision changing constitutional doctrine is announced in the same decision. This is particularly important since the comment in Benyard ... that the Florida Supreme Court has the sole power to determine the retroactive effect of its decisions.”
