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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. The Defendant committed the instant offense only eight days after being released from his third separate pris on commitment. The Court finds that this reason standing alone would be sufficient to depart to the maximum period allowed by law as extended by the habitual offender statute. 2. The Defendant’s behavior demonstrates a continuing and escalating pattern of criminal conduct. Since the Defendant was placed on probation he has been convicted of three additional grand thefts which could not be scored under the guidelines.”
