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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he five year term of probation was within the maximum authorized sentence, the effective maximum authorized sentence was five years — four years in actual confinement plus one year [of parole].”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Martin v. People · Hunter v. People“The fact that a person has been released on parole in no way alters the fact that he is still under sentence; he is in legal custody, although that custody consists only of supervision. Also § 17-2-207, C.R.S. (1986 Repl.Vol. 8A) provides that an offender on parole remains under the legal custody of the Department of Corrections and may be subject at any time to be returned to a correctional facility.”
