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

1. “(b) Appeals by Defendant. (1) Appeals Permitted. A defendant may appeal (A) a final judgment adjudicating guilt; (B) an order granting probation or community control, or both, whether or not guilt has been adjudicated; (C) orders entered after final judgment or finding of guilt, including orders revoking or modifying probation or community control, or both; (D) an unlawful or illegal sentence; (E) a sentence, if the appeal is required or permitted by general law; or (F) as otherwise provided by general law.”

2. “neither the statute nor the rule extends the right to appeal in circumstances where the lower court withholds adjudication of guilt. Thus, because the decision of the trial court withholding adjudication is not a final order adjudicating guilt, it is not appealable. [citation omitted]. Moreover, the credit given to Appellant for time served cannot be considered a "sentence ... since it was not preceded by an adjudication of guilt."”
