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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The petitioner did allege that the counsel appointed to represent him in his pri- or post conviction petition was inadequate, but even if this were true it would not subject the judgment here under attack to nullification. It is the judgment of conviction that must be upheld or voided in post conviction proceedings, since relief may only be granted when such a judgment is void or voidable because of the abridgement of some State or federal constitutional right. T.C.A. § 40-3805.” (T.C.A. § 40-30-105).”
