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

  1. “"a fact or set of facts highly relevant to the imposition of sentence, but not known to the trial judge at the time of original sentencing, either because it was not then in existence or because, even though it was then in existence, it was unknowingly overlooked by all of the parties."”

  2. “[W]e perceive no valid reason why a trial court should not be permitted to review a sentence for abuse of discretion based upon its conclusion the sentence was unduly harsh or unconscionable. If the sentence is to be reduced upon these grounds, the trial court must set forth its reasons why it concludes the sentence originally imposed was unduly harsh or unconscionable.”

  3. “A trial Court may modify a sentence even though no new factors are presented. Jones (Hollis) v. State, 70 Wis.2d 62, 72-73 , 233 N.W.2d 441, 447 (1975). The Jones Court stated that State v Wuensch, 69 Wis.2d 467 , 230 N.W.2nd 665 (1975), permits trial courts to review their own sentences to determine whether they are unduly harsh or unconscionable.”
