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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he word "restitution" connotes restoring or compensating the victim for his loss. If the legislature intended the term to be used more loosely, as a form of punitive damages, it should have used some other word or made its particular use of the word clearer.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Dillon · State v. Esler““An upward departure is within the sentencing court’s discretion if substantial and compelling aggravating circumstances are present. [Citation omitted.] If the record supports a finding of substantial and compelling circumstances, this court will not interfere with the sentence ‘unless it has a “strong feeling” that the sentence is disproportional to the offense.’ [Citation omitted.]””
