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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We can see that an expansion of the coram nobis remedy, or one in the nature of such remedy, would not be without good reason in a case in which an appeal had been wrongfully thwarted while the court that tried the case still had jurisdiction to the extent of allowing or of taking judicial cognizance of notice of an appeal, in which no action or judgment of the appellate court was involved. In this ease the trial court had lost jurisdiction of the case; it was no longer within the power of the trial court to allow or take cognizance of an appeal by defendant at the time of the alleged fraud or coercion. At that time the case was fully in the Court of Criminal Appeals.””

2. ““Whether the Court of Criminal Appeals would or should grant relief in the particular respect now considered in a proceeding directed originally to it is not at issue at this time. We refrain from either encouraging or discouraging such a proceeding. We are content to hold that the trial court would have acted without authority if it had attempted either to vacate or to bypass the order dismissing the appeal and that the trial judge was correct in declining to do so. The judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.””
