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

2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Sentencing under the persistent offender section of the SRA raises two questions of fact, `whether certain kinds of prior convictions exist and whether the defendant was the subject of those convictions.'”
