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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No persuasive reason exists why this Court should proceed to adjudicate the merits of a criminal case after the con victed defendant who has sought review escapes from the restraints placed upon him pursuant to the conviction. . . . [W]e believe [the escape] disentitles the defendant to call upon the resources of the Court for determination of his claims. In the absence of specific provision to the contrary in the statute under which [the defendant] appeals ... we conclude . . . that the Court has the authority to dismiss the appeal on this ground.””
