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] fixed life sentence may be deemed reasonable if the offense is so egregious that it demands an exceptionally severe measure of retribution and deterrence, or if the offender so utterly lacks rehabilitative potential that imprisonment until death is the only feasible means of protecting society.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Priest · State v. Windom“It is well settled that hearsay information may be set forth in a presentence report, so long as the defendant is afforded an opportunity to present favorable evidence and to explain or rebut the adverse information. I.C.R. 32(e); State v. Mason, 107 Idaho 706 , 692 P.2d 350 (1984). However, hearsay information must be disregarded if there is no reasonable basis to deem it reliable, as where the information is simply conjecture. State v. Sensenig, 110 Idaho 83 , 714 P.2d 52 (Ct.App.1985).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Mauro“Absent an executive commutation (an event which the judiciary can neither predict nor assume), a defendant given a fixed life sentence will be imprisoned until he [or she] dies.”
