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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In numerous eases we have cautioned against using a defendant’s criminal history as a basis for a durational departure or departure with respect to consecutive service. [Citation omitted.] Similarly, we have made it clear that the trial court’s general disagreement with the Sentencing Guidelines or with presumptive sentence adopted by the Sentencing Guidelines Commission is not a proper basis for departing from the presumptive sentence.”
