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.
“[A] trial court need not state to what extent it considered each of the statutory factors at the sentencing hearing.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“We review sentences for abuse of discretion. 'An abuse of discretion may be manifest if the actions of the judge in sentencing were inherently unfair or if the judge imposed a clearly excessive sentence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[Flive consecutive sentences of zero-to-five years creates an effective sentence of zero-to-twenty-five years. Although the potential length of the sentence is increased, the floor remains the same: zero.... By imposing consecutive sentences of zero-to-five years, the trial court merely shifted the final determination of the length of Defendant's sentence to the Board of Pardons.”
