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

  1. “We disagree with the defendant’s argument that Capuzzo is distinguishable from the present case based upon the fact that the defendant in Capuzzo had actual notice of the sentencing hearing. In Capuzzo , the defendant had entered a plea, and a sentencing hearing was scheduled. The defendant failed to appear at the scheduled sentencing hearing. The specific issue addressed by the Court was whether a defendant could be sentenced in absentia, where the defendant voluntarily failed to attend a scheduled sentencing hearing.”
