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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although Jackson was not represented by counsel on May 30, 1975, he appeared for sentencing on March 27, 1975. Jackson’s attorney was present and spoke on his behalf at the sentencing hearing of March 27, 1975. The transcript of the March sentencing indicated that the trial court sentenced Jackson to not less than one year nor more than ten years and ordered him committed to the Department of Correction for proper assignment. Although the execution of the sentence was withheld, the trial court ultimately suspended the entire sentence and placed him on probation for two years. Jackson acknowledged at his guilty plea and initial sentence hearing that he would receive a one to ten year sentence. Even if Jackson’s right to counsel was violated, Jackson has failed to show how he was prejudiced. At the time of Jackson’s sentencing, [the statute he was convicted of violating] required the sentence that Jackson received. The fact that the trial court ordered all of Jackson’s sentence to be suspended is diametrically opposed to his contention that he was prejudiced. Additionally, given that any error in sen tencing would not affect the validity of the conviction, resentencing would serve no apparent purpose and .Jackson offers none.”
