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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) A “prior offense” means any of the following: (i) A conviction for a violation of RCW 46.61.502 or an equivalent local ordinance; (ii) A conviction for a violation of RCW 46.61.504 or an equivalent local ordinance.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is a class C felony punishable under chapter 9.94A RCW, or chapter 13.40 RCW if the person is a juvenile, if: (a) The person has four or more prior offenses within ten years as defined in RCW 46.61.5055.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Whether a prior conviction qualifies as a predicate offense is a threshold question of law for the court, and not an essential element of the crime of felony DUI.”
