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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In evaluating whether foreign convictions are “crimes of violence” as required by the statute, a two step process has evolved. First, we determine whether the Maryland counterpart to the foreign crime is one of those classified in the statute as a “crime of violence.” See DiBartolomeo v. State, 61 Md.App. 302, 312-13 [ 486 A.2d 256 ] (1985); Mitchell v. State, 56 Md.App. 162, 183-84 [ 467 A.2d 522 ] (1983). Once it is determined that the counterpart Maryland offense is among those set out in the statute, we then look to the law of the foreign jurisdiction for its definition of that crime. If the elements of the crime as established by the foreign jurisdiction are suffi ciently limited to those elements by which the crime is established in this State, it qualifies as a violent crime under our statute. Temoney v. State, 290 Md. 251, 262-64 [ 429 A.2d 1018 ] (1981); DiBartolomeo, 61 Md.App. at 312-13 [ 486 A.2d 256 ]. If the crime meets both classification and definition requirements, it may be used for the purposes of applying the enhanced punishment statute.”
