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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a drug or alcohol problem in and of itself is not a substantial or compelling reason justifying imposition of an exceptional sentence”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“"(1) Ensure that the punishment for a criminal offense is proportionate to the seriousness of the offense and the offender's criminal history; "(2) Promote respect for the law by providing punishment which is just; "(3) Be commensurate with the punishment imposed on others committing similar offenses; "(4) Protect the public; "(5) Offer the offender an opportunity to improve him or herself; and "(6) Make frugal use of the state's resources."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“To reverse a sentence which is outside the sentence range, the reviewing court must find: (a) Either that the reasons supplied by the sentencing judge are not supported by the record which was before the judge or that those reasons do not justify a sentence outside the standard range for that offense; or (b) that the sentence imposed was clearly excessive or clearly too lenient.”
