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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) A judgment of conviction shall be entered upon a verdict of guilty by the jury, a finding of guilty by the court in cases where a jury is waived, or a plea of guilty or no contest. (2) Except in cases where ch. 975 is applicable, upon a judgment of conviction the court shall either impose or withhold sen tence and, if the defendant is not fined or imprisoned, the defendant shall be placed on probation as provided in s. 973.09. The court may adjourn the case from time to time for the purpose of pronouncing sentence. (3) A judgment of conviction shall set forth the plea, the verdict or finding, the adjudication and sentence, and a finding as to the specific number of days for which credit is to be granted under s. 973.156. If the defendant is acquitted, judgment shall be entered accordingly. (4) Judgments shall be in writing and signed by the judge or clerk.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““While subsection (2) of sec. 959.01, Stats., provides the court has the duty to pronounce ‘judgment’ upon conviction and may adjourn the case from time to time for that purpose, the word ‘judgment’ here means sentencing. Neither sec. 959.01 (1) or (2) requires a formal judgment of conviction and we think the acceptance by the court of the jury’s verdict of guilty was tantamount to a pronouncement of Spiller’s legal status of having been convicted. ...””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he new Criminal Code, sec. 972.13, Stats., now provides expressly for a formal judgment of conviction to be entered upon a verdict of guilty, a finding of guilty, or a plea of guilty, or no contest. Therefore, the sentence, if one is imposed, must be imposed upon a “judgment of conviction.” [Footnote omitted.]”
