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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“convictions that a defendant shows to have been previously ruled constitutionally invalid are not to be counted”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“A 1990 amendment to application note 6 ... clarifies that a district court may never count convictions previously held invalid in sentencing a defendant, but that it has discretion to conduct a collateral inquiry to determine whether challenged convictions, which the defendant has not previously contested, are invalid and, hence, must be ignored.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“As soon as practicable after the arrest of a person charged with the violation of the terms and conditions of his [or her] parole ..., such parolee ... shall appear before the Parole Board in person and a hearing shall be had at which the State of Georgia and parolee ... may introduce such evidence as they may deem necessary and pertinent to the charge of parole violation.... Within a reasonable time thereafter the Board shall make finding upon such charge of parole violation ... and shall enter an order thereon rescinding said parole ... and returning such person to serve the sentence theretofore imposed upon him [or her], with benefit of computing the time so served on parole ... as part of such person’s sentence, or reinstating such parole ..., or shall enter such other order as it may deem proper: Provided, however, when a parolee ... has been convicted of any crime, whether a felony or a midemeanor [sic], or has entered a plea of guilty thereto, in a court of record, his [or her] parole ... may be revoked without a hearing before the State Board of Pardons and Parole.”
