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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“..some states do not employ the “felony-misdemeanor” dichotomy at all. Maine, for instance, classifies crimes in a “class” system, ranking each individual offense as class Á, B, C,.D, or-E. See Me.Rev. Stat. Ann. tit. 17-A, §. 4(1). New Jersey, on the other hand, classifies crimes in order of “degrees,” first, second, third, or fourth. See N.J. Stat. Ann. §, 2C:43-1.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The diversity of classification systems necessitates the reference to Maryland’s own felony classification to ensure uniformity of application of the law. The rule of lenity does not apply to Jones’s conviction for being a felon in possession, because the basis for legislative draftsmanship is clear, and we do not have to guess as to intent.”
