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.

1. “However, the record in this case does not reflect that the alleged defect in the presentence report was brought to the district court’s attention, nor did Lamas request the court to disregard the challenged statement. As a predicate to appellate review of the sufficiency or accuracy of information contained in a presentence report, the defendant bears the burden of raising objections to the report at the time of his sentencing; where no objection is made and the report substantially meets the requirements of I.C.R. 32, we will not review a challenge to its contents on appeal. [Citations omitted.] Because the alleged error in Lamas’s presentence report was not first presented to the district court for consideration, it will not be entertained now and determined on this appeal. State v. Mauro, [ 121 Idaho 178 , 824 P.2d 109 (1991)]; State v. Martin, 119 Idaho 577, 579 , 808 P.2d 1322, 1324 (1991).”
