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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“With regard to the use of a handgun, he ran that consecutive 20-year term, so clearly he felt that this was a very heinous act [Petitioner] committed, and he felt that he should pay for it as long as possible. And that’s what Judge Rymer did, and that’s what the Court — I’m sorry — that’s what the State is asking Your Honor to do as well, to carry out that intent that Judge Rymer had, and sentence the Defendant to exactly the same thing. Give him a 40-year sentence, 20 years for the first degree assault, 20 years for the use of a handgun in the commission of a felony or a crime of violence, consecutive to each other.”
