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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[T]he 1994 guidelines, contain no disjunctive wording and require new interpretation. Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.702(b) contains a clear statement that existing case law, as it construes the application of sentencing guidelines, is superseded by operation of rule 3.702 if the case law conflicts with rule 3.702. We hereby give effect to rule 3.702(b) by holding that Davis, with its emphasis upon disjunctive wording, does not apply to a sentencing imposed under the 1994 guidelines as embodied in rule 3.702.”
