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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “This Court is aware of the delay relative to the handling of appeals by the Appellate Public Defender’s office. It is obvious that the office is understaffed to handle the number of appeals that are presently being handled by the office but due to a lack of funding by the State, the office is apparently doing the best that they [sic] can under the circumstances. We are powerless to cure this problem. It can only be cured by the legislature through the use of its budgetary powers. Petitioner is not entitled to have his appeal handled prior to others who are in similar circumstances and have been delayed even longer.”
