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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial court’s reasons are not sufficient. Declarations that the court has considered the background, prior criminal record, and facts of the case “do not indicate that the trial court has made a ‘searching inquiry necessary to justify declaring a legislatively mandated sentence unconstitutional’, nor do they indicate that the trial court made a meaningful assessment of any mitigating or aggravating circumstances appropriate to this case.””
