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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The judgment of contempt stated that [the husband] shall be imprisoned for thirty days for the `many separate and distinct prohibited telephone contacts.' Thus, while the trial court's order states `separate and distinct,' it is unclear exactly how many violations [the husband] is being punished for, and how many days of imprisonment are being meted out per violation. Without a specific number of separate citations of contempt, based upon the evidence, we cannot ascertain whether the trial court exceeded the limitation upon its power to punish for contempt under § 12-11-30 (5). Additionally, without specific *Page 707 findings, we are unable to review the judgment for excessiveness."”
