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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The statute raises the cap of the fine which may be imposed from the $20,000 maximum which may be levied against a first degree felon acting on his own, to a more fluid amount premised on either the harm caused or the benefit derived from a pattern of corrupt activity. This is a reasonable provision considering that there is a substantial risk that the damage caused by an ongoing criminal activity or performed in concert with others will be greater than the damage precipitated by an individual. Moreover, this more severe financial penalty provision is in conformity with the parallel purposes of Ohio's act and the federal RICO statute, see State v. Schlosser (1997), 79 Ohio St.3d 329 , 332 , 681 N.E.2d 911 , which is to deprive organized crime of its power derived from money gained from criminal activity. Id., quoting Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, Statement of Findings and Purposes, 84 Stat 922 . See, also, Ohio's Pattern of Corrupt Activities Law: O.R.C. § 2923.31 -36 (1991), 17 U.Dayton L.Rev. 279.”
