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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . This court has rejected the cloak of sanctity imposed by Oliver. [Oliver v. Cowan, 487 F.2d 895 (6th Cir.1973)]. In plain language, not subject to misinterpretation, the court has held that the guiding hand of counsel is not required in formal sentencing procedures because it is not a critical stage of the proceeding. This is particularly so when the accused has shown no prejudice in order to be entitled to the relief sought. . ” (Emphasis added). See Reams v. Commonwealth, Ky., 522 S.W.2d 853 (1975).”
