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.
“The Court of Special Appeals interpreted the Gardner decision as prohibiting the enhancement of a sentence on a single count twice under two subsequent offender statutes or provisions, arguing, by way of contrast, that “[t]he court here enhanced [the petitioner’s] sentence as a subsequent offender only after the State proved that [the petitioner] possessed more than fifty grams of [crack] cocaine with the intent to distribute it.” * * % Indeed, although, in this case, we address a different subsection of § 286, the question to be answered is the same, namely, whether the Legislature intended that sentences already enhanced pursuant to a subsection other than subsection (g), be further enhanced by § 293. The answer in this case, as in Gardner, is simply not clear; considering, the applicable statutes in context leaves a doubt as to whether both were intended to be applied to a single count of an indictment or information simultaneously.”
