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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Ojnce a state provides for bail [pending appeal], the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments impose certain limitations on the state court’s discretion to grant or refuse bail. Since we perceive no constitutional distinction between requiring excessive bail and denying bail altogether in the absence of legitimate reasons, it follows that appellant could not have been arbitrarily or unreasonably denied bail consistent with his constitutional rights.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. Garson v. Perlman““A defendant is not entitled as of right to bail pending appeal. The application for a certificate to stay execution is granted as a matter of discretion. This defendant made application twice to Presiding Justice Mollen, who denied the applications_ CPL 460.50 states that such an application may be made only once. A second application for bail pending appeal may not be made under the guise of a habeas corpus application.””
