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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is clear that the two subsections of Section 775.087 serve two different functions. Subsection (1) provides for reclassification of a felony to a higher degree where a weapon or firearm was used and the use of the weapon has not already resulted in the offense being upgraded to a higher degree... . However, subsection (2) does not increase the punishment but rather provides for mandatory minimum imprisonment for a person who has been convicted of [a crime] while possessing a firearm.”
