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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““in view of the statements made by appellant’s attorney during die sentencing hearing, which seemed to indicate that the other crime reference in the presentence report was based on inconclusive identification evidence rather than upon the statements of other participants in the robbery, that the court was justified in crediting appellant’s denial of the other charge and that the record does support its finding that appellant’s denials of participation in the other offense were false, and that the court was deceived by them.” 454 F.2d at 466 .”
