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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“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.”
7 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." RCW 9.94A.010.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“RAP 1.2(a) makes clear that technical violation of the rules will not ordinarily bar appellate review, where justice is to be served by such review. In these circumstances, where the nature of the challenge is perfectly clear, and the challenged finding is set forth in the appellate brief, we will consider the merits of the challenge.”
