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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is clear to this Court that appellant is entitled to the relief sought. Had it not been for the intervention of the invalid Dyer Act sentence, the commencement of service of the remainder of his earlier sentence would have been advanced, (citations deleted.) It is unnecessary for us to determine whether the appellant should be credited with jail time from March 5, 1968, the date of his arrest, or from October 16, 1968, the date of the invalid conviction, since he is entitled to immediate unconditional release in either case. “We do not intend that this opinion be interpreted as standing for the principle that prisoners may ‘bank’ time. Rather, we intend that it be restricted to cases strictly within the factual situation here involved, i. e., time served on an invalid sentence at a time when a presently existing sentence could have been served.” (p. 1299.)”
