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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In his summary dismissal of the petition, the learned trial judge questioned the petitioner’s status to seek relief under our Post-Conviction Procedure Act,, inasmuch as he is in federal custody in another state. Since McCray is under multiple sentences, being expressly served in part (concurrently) in the federal prison, and there subject to detainers that will restore him immediately to State custody at the conclusion of his federal sentence, we believe him to be “in custody” sufficiently to have status to use the Act. 13”
