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 53 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Once the defendant’s plea was accepted and judgment entered, the court had four options. It could sentence the defendant and execute the sentence, committing him to prison. Section 31-20-2, N.M.S.A. 1978 (Repl.Pamp.1981). It could commit the defendant for a sixty day diagnostic term. Section 31-20-3(C), N.M.S.A.1978 (Repl.Pamp.1981). It could sentence the defendant and suspend the execution of the sentence. Section 31-20-3(B), N.M.S. A.1978 (Repl.Pamp.1981). Or it could enter an order deferring the imposition of the sentence. Section 31-20-3(A), N.M.S. A.1978 (Repl.Pamp.1981).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Garcia“The court shall then hold a hearing, which may be informal, on the violation charged. If the violation is established, the court may continue the original probation, revoke the probation and either order a new probation with any condition provided for in Section 31-20-5 or 31-20-6 NMSA 1978, or require the probationer to serve the balance of the sentence imposed or any lesser sentence. If imposition of sentence was deferred, the court may impose any sentence which might originally have been imposed, but credit shall be given for time served on probation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Leslie“[T]he difference between suspension and deferral is that suspension involves a sentence imposed while deferral does not. Suspension always subjects the defendant to criminal consequences, although he may be pardoned, while deferral ordinarily results in the charges being dismissed. With suspension, the sentence having been imposed, the court cannot later alter the sentence upwards. With deferral, no sentence having been imposed, the court may give any sentence it could originally have given.”
