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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Lastly, appellant contends that the clerk had no authority to collect the costs and fines because no judgment had been entered against him. Contrary to the contention of appellant, the trial court entered a judgment of sentence that included payment of the fines and costs. Accordingly, the argument is without merit.” Id. at 1010 .
