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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the issue in reviewing a sentence is whether the defendant in question received an appropriate sentence, not whether someone else received a lesser one. . . . Similarly, the mere fact that a defendant’s sentence differs from those which have been issued to the coperpetrators in the same court does not make the imposition of defendant’s sentence an abuse of discretion. Each defendant is unique; evidence as to each defendant’s life, character, and previous conduct may be considered in determining the propriety of the sentence.”
