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.
“The state's failure to present evidence that Davis qualified as a prison releasee reoffender is of no moment as the trial court had ruled on the waiver issue[.] . . . It is well settled that the law does not require a useless or futile act. See Plaza v. State, 699 So.2d 289 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997); Young v. State, 664 So.2d 1144 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995); Howard v. State, 616 So.2d 484 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993).”
