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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The right to an appeal is not a constitutional one. . . . There is . . . no common law right of appeal by the state in criminal matters. . . . The right of the state to appeal in criminal cases is granted only by statute. . . . As [the Supreme Court] noted in State v. Carabetta , [ 106 Conn. 114 , 119 , 137 A. 394 (1927)]: Statutes authorizing an appeal in a criminal case must be strictly followed. . . . The conditions of the statute must therefore be met to have a valid appeal. . . . The right of appeal is purely statutory. It is accorded only if the conditions fixed by statute and the rules of court for taking and prosecuting the appeal are met.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The provision that permission from the trial judge be obtained was a limitation on the right of appeal granted the state. This condition is generally considered to be a prerequisite to appeal by the state. . . . However, as the dominant intention of the legislature was to extend the right of appeal to the state, the limitation placed upon that right is one which must be so exercised as to avoid abuse and unreasonable consequences. . . . The court's granting or denial of the state's motion to appeal constitutes a `judicial determination' within the court's CT Page 8226 discretion.”
