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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[w]hen jury instructions are challenged on appeal, we do not review them in isolation; rather, 'we read them as a whole to determine if the jury was properly instructed.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“incorrectly states the law, is covered fairly elsewhere in the instructions, or is without foundation in the evidence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[The defendant] attempts to argue that Apprendi requires the actual sentence enhancement itself to be found by the jury. But that is not the law. The trial judge may impose the sentence enhancement once the jury has found all of the facts necessary to satisfy the elements of the sentencing-enhancement statute. Apprendi requires the jury to find not the sentence enhancement itself, but every fact required for the sentence enhancement to be imposed. The jury having found all of the necessary facts, the trial judge has the authority to impose the sentence. ■”
