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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The supreme court has indicated that subsection (3) of the trafficking statute may be found to be unconstitutionally applied under certain circumstances, such as where a prosecutor clearly failed to live up to the state's side of a plea agreement, after securing the bargained for substantial assistance. State v. Werner, 402 So.2d 386 (Fla. 1981). But the state does not act in bad faith, or engage in overreaching, simply by entering into a plea agreement with one codefendant which is not offered to the other, by entering into different agreements with codefendants, or by otherwise treating them differently in the exercise of the state's discretion. The statute does not deprive a defendant of equal protection rights merely by providing an opportunity for a lesser sentence to one defendant, who, according to the state's motion, provides assistance, and by denying that opportunity to another who does not do so. (citations omitted).”
