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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We disagree with the trial court that the original 4 1/2 year sentence imposed, in part, upon the subterfuge of the defendant constituted an illegal sentence that could be corrected under ... 3.800(a). The term of 4 1/2 years was a legal sentence that fell well within the statutory maximum of life imprisonment. A trial court is without authority to increase a legal sentence. Hinton v. State, 446 So.2d 712 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984), and Cherry v. State, 439 So.2d 998 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983).”
