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.

When the firearm is an essential enhancing element of the underlying offense ... the defendant should not also be convicted and punished under section 790.07(2), Florida Statutes, for that same misuse of the same firearm.”
