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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) Any person convicted of an offense committed while [on pretrial] release!] ... shall be subject to the following penalties in addition to any other applicable penalties: (1) A term of imprisonment of not less than one year and not more than five years if convicted of committing a felony while so released[.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Under section [23 — ]1328, penalties flow, not from the “mere fact of arrest,” but from the affirmative act of engaging in an offense, resulting in conviction, during post-arrest release.”
