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.
“Our examination of the record fails to disclose any conviction of defendant to be expunged.... There is nothing in the record before this Court to show any acceptance of the guilty plea, findings, conviction, judgment, or imposition of sentence by the lower court upon defendant. Without any indication in the record of the proceedings below concerning the disposition of the second degree felony charge against defendant, we cannot determine in what manner the court acted. It is possible that the court intended to enter defendant’s conviction, impose sentence which was stayed, and place defendant on probation. But the record does not so indicate.”
