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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]t the time that the court entered its resentencing order, making these additional sentences to run consecutively, petitioner had already been incarcerated ... for approximately two calendar months. Thus, it is apparent that petitioner had already suffered partial punishment under the original sentence at the time the more lengthy commitment was re-assessed ... Such a belated attempt at altering the terms of a defendant’s sentence [is] null and void of effect.”
