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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Tennessee Criminal Sentencing Reform Act of 1982 makes it clear that the record of the sentencing hearing “shall include specific findings of fact upon which application of the sentencing principles were based.” T.C.A. § 40-35-209(c). This provision is mandatory. See Stubbs v. State, 216 Tenn. 567 , 393 S.W.2d 150, 154 (1965); Blankenship v. State, 223 Tenn. 158 , 443 S.W.2d 442, 445 (1969). The fact that this Court must review the sentence imposed by the trial court de novo without a presumption of correctness does not relieve the trial judge from complying with this mandate. See T.C.A. § 40-35-402(d).”

Dulsworth“We wish to make it clear ... that the fact we are now required to make a de novo review of these sentencing issues does not in any way relieve the trial judges of then-responsibility and duty to comply with the guidelines and mandates of the Sentencing Act including the making of a proper record.”
