3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Vigil v. People · People v. Everett“Under the sentencing scheme here, however, all defendants convicted of both first degree sexual assault as a class 2 felony and a crime of violence because they used a deadly weapon in committing the crime must be sentenced in the aggravated range. Thus, it cannot be said that the sentencing statutes permit different degrees of punishment for persons in the defendant’s situation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. People v. Chavez“In exercising its sentencing discretion, a trial court must consider the nature and elements of the offense; the character and rehabilitative potential of the offender, any-aggravating or mitigating circumstances, and the public interest in safety and deterrence. The court may not place undue emphasis on any one of these factors to the exclusion of the others.”
