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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The imposition of a sentence in a criminal trial is a matter that is peculiarly within the province of the trial judge, Gee v. State, 2 Md. App. 61 , 233 A. 2d 336 . The trial judge is not limited by strict rules of evidence in his presentence investigation, which includes examination of the person’s reputation, past offenses, habits, health, and the like, Baker v. State, supra [ 3 Md. App. 251 , 238 A. 2d 561 ] at 257.””
