Most-quoted passages

“must exercise discretion on a case-by-case basis in order to balance and give effect to the [competing] goals”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he principal purposes of Wis. Stat. ch. 980 are clear: the protection of the public and the treatment of convicted sex offenders who are at a high risk to reoffend in order to reduce the likelihood that they will engage in such conduct in the future. These purposes are not significantly different from those underlying the NGI statute: to treat the NGI acquittee's mental illness and to protect the acquittee and society from the acquittee's potential dangerousness. Thus, because of the close correspondence between the statutes and legislative purposes at issue in Szulczewski and those in [a ch. 980 commitment], the supreme court's rationale in Szulczewski applies with equal force here.”
