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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The requirement of an interpreter at the sentencing hearing insures that a non-English speaking defendant is truly "present" at sentencing as contemplated by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.180(a)(9) and not merely physically there without the ability to understand or comment on the proceedings which will culminate in a circumscription of his liberty. Our system of justice has evolved too far for a defendant's acknowledged language problem to cause him to be placed in a position before the court which is not equal to that of an English speaking defendant in terms of communicative opportunities.”
