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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“At the trial on the habitual offender information the people must prove the three prior convictions and the identity of the defendant as the person who committed those offenses. The people sustained this burden of proof in the habitual offender proceeding following the original conviction of carrying a concealed weapon and defendant was properly convicted as an habitual offender, having committed three prior felonies. That conviction was never reversed. The factual determinations essential to support that conviction have never been set aside. [TJherefore, all that is necessary to empower the court to sentence the defendant as a fourth felony offender after the reversal of the fourth felony conviction is that the defendant be convicted again of the fourth felony offense upon retrial.”

Leapley“Well, I’m going to cut through all the red tape and rule that the defendant is not entitled to be retried on the Part Two Information; that he has previously admitted the three prior felony convictions after he was convicted of the underlying felony; and that this Court, after appropriate inquiry, found that the admission was voluntary, that there was a factual basis for it, accepted that admission and found the defendant guilty as an habitual criminal.”
