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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are satisfied that the ‘serious crime’ referred to in KRS 30.110(1) is the crime which is causing a present detention of the defendant, not some crime committed years ago, the liability for which has been completely discharged. In the case at bar appellant is not seeking post-conviction relief from the judgment of conviction for which he is presently being detained, but relief from conviction which occurred twelve years ago. In our view, neither Ivey, supra, or KRS 31.110 are applicable to such a proceeding. Accordingly, we hold that the court did not err in denying appellant’s request that counsel be appointed to represent him.””
