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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Whenever it is provided that any offense shall be punished by a fine or imprisonment, the court imposing punishment may, in its discretion, select the kind of punishment to be imposed, and, if the punishment is fine or imprisonment, its amount or term within the limits prescribed by law; provided, if the punishment to be imposed is imprisonment, the sentence or sentences imposed shall be reduced by the number of days spent in confinement while awaiting trial and while awaiting sentencing * * *." (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Such an individual is 'in limbo because the time spent awaiting trial or sentence can not be credited towards any future parole.' " Id. (brackets omitted) (quoting Skirvin , 113 R.I. at 446 n.1, 322 A.2d at 300 n.1 ). This Court has previously stated that "the phrase 'while awaiting trial and while awaiting sentencing' must be construed as embracing confinement time spent for any reason whatsoever in connection with an offense for which a defendant is subsequently sentenced.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“We have previously held that the General Assembly's enactment of the so-called dead-time provisions of § 12-19-2 was a benevolent effort to assist the person who, because of an inability to make bail, has been cast into a sort of limbo as he awaited the disposition of the charge or complaint which had caused his incarceration.”
