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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Unfortunately the court does not read Rule 35 to provide as defendant would contend. In the court’s opinion attaching a provision at this time as to when probation may be granted under Section 4208 is to some extent or may result to some extent (as is hoped for by defendant in this case so that it may be considered before expiration of one-third thereof) in a reduction and modification of sentence and is beyond the pale of this court’s jurisdiction since the requisite 120 days of Rule 35 have elapsed. . . . Were the court to accede to defendant’s request, the actual time he might serve well could be shortened. Certainly, this is a reduction in the practical sense as well as the legal sense.”
