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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[SJentence-enhancement statutes under which additional terms of imprisonment are imposed do not trigger double-jeopardy violations. Mayers v. State, 42 So.3d 33, 45 (¶ 50) (Miss.Ct.App.2010). The rationale is that sentence enhancements do “not set out separate elements of the underlying felony.” Id. Section 97-37-37(2) merely imposes an elevated sentence for use or display of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and it does not delineate an independent substantive offense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Except to the extent that a greater minimum sentence is otherwise provided by any other provision of law, any convicted felon who uses or displays a firearm during the commission of any felony shall, in addition to the punishment provided for such felony, be sentenced to an additional term of imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections of ten (10) years, to run consecutively, not concurrently, which sentence shall not be reduced or suspended.”
