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.

“"As a rule, judicial decisions apply `retroactively.' Indeed, a legal system based on precedent has a built-in presumption of retroactivity." Solem v. Stumes, 465 U.S. 638, 642 , 104 S.Ct. 1338, 1341 , 79 L.Ed.2d 579 (1984) (citation omitted). The United States Supreme Court has on several occasions held that new decisions that affect the process of determining guilt or innocence and which could well lead to acquittal should be given retroactive effect. Michigan v. Payne, 412 U.S. 47, 61-62 , 93 S.Ct. 1966, 1973-75 , 36 L.Ed.2d 736 (1973) (Justice Marshall dissenting) (citing Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 , 83 S.Ct. 792 , 9 L.Ed.2d 799 (1963); In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358 , 90 S.Ct. 1068 , 25 L.Ed.2d 368 (1972); Adams v. Illinois, 405 U.S. 278 , 92 S.Ct. 916 , 31 L.Ed.2d 202 (1972)). This Court has followed the United States Supreme Court's general rule of retroactivity, applying decisions in criminal cases retroactively except in cases "where retroactive enforcement would cause serious disruption of the administration of justice and where the prior rule was not infected by a serious absence of fundamental fairness." Cain v. McKinnon, 552 So.2d 91 , 92 n. 1 (Miss. 1989) (citations omitted). [1]”
