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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The statute specifically states the amount must be five grams or more of “methamphetamine ... or any compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity or detectable amount of methamphetamine.... ” It does not specify any particular stage of the manufacturing or post-manufacturing process, nor does it indicate an expected yield must be estimated or a pure form must be extracted in order to weigh the narcotic.... We find the statute is plain on its face and does include any compound or mixture which contains any quantity or detectable amount of methamphetamine.”
