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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the victim was particularly vulnerable due to age or reduced physical or mental capacity which was known or should have been known to the offender; (2) the victim was treated with particular cruelty for which the individual offender should be held responsible; and (3) the current conviction is for an offense in which the victim was injured and there is a prior felony conviction for an offense in which the victim was injured.”
