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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[flelony offenses relied upon shall not have arisen out of the same transaction or occurrence or series of events closely related in time and location.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In the instant case, the appellant would ... receive a benefit if the convictions arose out of the same transaction.... Defendants cannot receive this benefit without offering evidence whether the prior convictions were closely related. As the appellant presented no such evidence ..., this assignment of error is without merit.”
