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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(b) The county legislative body in any county of this state shall make the necessary appropriation and pay to the sheriff of its county the maximum salary fixed by § 8-24-102, and the authorized expenses fixed by law for the operation of his office, including the salary of all his deputies, which shall be the sole manner of compensation for those deputies, as authorized pursuant to chapter 20 of this title, direct from the county trustee in twelve (12) equal monthly instalments irrespective of the fees earned by the sheriff.” (Emphasis added.)”
