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.
“There is little doubt that the récord would have permitted the trial court, by virtue of the mitigating circumstances attending the crime, to distinguish it from others within the same category, and thus to have properly imposed an exceptional sentence. RCW 9.94A.390 for example provides that the court in deviating from the standard sentence range may consider as mitigating factors the following: (1) Mitigating Circumstances (a) To a significant degree, the victim was an initiator, willing participant, aggressor, or provoker of the incident. (c) The defendant committed the crime under duress, coercion, threat, or compulsion insufficient to constitute a com píete defense but which significantly affected his or her conduct. (f) The offense was principally accomplished by another person and the defendant manifested extreme caution or sincere concern for the safety or well-being of the victim.”
