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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If guilt is established via a guilty plea or a verdict, and nothing remains except for imposing a sentence, the particular defendant is deemed ‘convicted’ for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 922 . We conclude that once the appellant’s plea of guilty was accepted by the court, and he was found by the court to be guilty, he became a ‘convicted felon’ for purposes of KRS 527.040.”
