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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Every prisoner who has been or may hereafter be convicted of any offense against the state of Mississippi, and is confined in the execution of a judgment of such conviction in the Mississippi State Penitentiary for a definite term of terms of one (1) year or over, or for the term of his or her natural life, whose record of conduct shows that such prisoner has observed the rules of the penitentiary, and who has served not less than one-fourth (1/4) of the total of such terms or terms for which such prisoner was sentenced, or, if sentenced for a term or terms of thirty (30) years or more, or, if sentenced to serve a term or terms of thirty (30) years or more, or, if sentenced for a term of the natural life of such prisoner, has served not less than ten (10) years of such life sentence, may be released on parole as hereinafter provided.”
