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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a general proposition, sentencing is a matter vested in the sound discretion of the trial court and will remain undis turbed on appeal, absent an abuse of that discretion. Upon acceptance of a plea agreement, however, the trial court is bound to comply with the terms of that agreement. A sentence recommendation is among the “terms” of a plea bargain. Therefore, a negotiated sentence is binding on the court where the sentence is plainly set forth on the record, understood and agreed to by the parties and approved by the trial court.”
