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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he following additional times shall be added to [any drug offense] sentence if the offender or an accomplice was armed with a deadly weapon”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We recognize that in most crimes involving the use of deadly weapons, the coparticipants are aware that one or more of them is armed. That is no reason, however, for imposing strict liability [of penalty enhancements] on all coparticipants without regard to each participant's knowledge that another is so armed. Such strict liability was possible under the old accomplice liability statute ... The new complicity statute, by contrast, makes an accomplice equally liable only for the substantive crimeany sentence enhancement must depend on the accused's own misconduct.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“(1) Ensure that the punishment for a criminal offense is proportionate to the seriousness of the offense and the offender's criminal history; "(2) Promote respect for the law by providing punishment which is just; "(3) Be commensurate with the punishment imposed on others committing similar offenses; "(4) Protect the public; "(5) Offer the offender an opportunity to improve him or herself; and "(6) Make frugal use of the state's resources.”
