The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“[T]he law in this case provides that there should be a presumption of imprisonment unless having regard to the character and condition of the defendant, it is of the opinion that imprisonment would be a serious injustice which would override the need to deter. After careful consideration of this, I find that there is a need to deter, there is a need for, there is a need for incarceration. And normally, the fine line distinction between imprisonment, which imprisonment refers to a New Jersey State Prison sentence, and incarceration refers to a lesser incarceration.... I find that the need to deter is present, but I find that the presumption of imprisonment does not apply because of the fact that the mitigating factors so highly outweigh the aggravating factors.... [T]here are lots of other young men who are out there, and young women as well, who need to be deterred. And I would hope that this sentence would have the dual effect of deterring others, which I'm obliged to do pursuant to the formula given to me. But at the same time, would give due consideration to the mitigating factors that are clearly present in this case.”
