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.
“This court has consistently held: [A] maximum sentence is usually reserved for cases involving the most serious violation of the offense and the worst type of offender. Upon review of sentencing, an appellate court does not determine whether another sentence may have been more appropriate, but whether the trial court abused its discretion.”
