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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A collateral disability must be a substantial, individualized impairment, and a purely hypothetical statement about what might occur in the future is not sufficient to give viability to an otherwise moot appeal.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“The law regarding moot criminal cases is not in dispute. State v. Wilson (1975), 41 Ohio St. 2d 236 , 70 O.O.2d 431 , 325 N.E. 2d 236 , certiorari denied sub nom. Wilson v. Ohio (1975), 423 U.S. 936 , hold that after a defendant has fully satisfied his penalty and there is no 'evidence' that the defendant will suffer any collateral disability or loss of civil rights as a result of the conviction, the appeal is moot and must be dismissed. The majority of the Supreme Court rejected the position of the dissent which would have allowed an appeal due to collateral 'disgrace and legal discredit of a conviction.' State v. Wilson, supra, at 239, 70 O.O. 2d at 433, 325 N.E. 2d at 238-239 (Celebrezze, J., dissenting).”
