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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he absence of the intent [to distribute] factor, which is entitled to some weight in mitigation of sentence, should not automatically and in all circumstances shield a defendant from the maximum sentence [for possession] as a matter of law.... The statutory maximum is available to a sentencing judge in appropriate circumstances, whether defendant is sentenced on a reduced charge or the original charge.... Given defendant's obvious criminal propensities and the lack of applicable mitigating factors, the sentence is calculated to achieve the legitimate goals of punishment and rehabilitation. 493 So.2d at 653-654 .”
