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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A. When a defendant has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, the court should impose a sentence of imprisonment if: “(1) there is an undue risk that during the period of a suspended sentence or probation the defendant will commit another crime; “(2) the defendant is in need of correctional treatment or a custodial environment that can be provided most effectively by his commitment to an institution; or “(3) a lesser sentence will deprecate the seriousness of the defendant’s crime.””
