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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As enhancement factors the appellant has a previous history of criminal convictions or criminal behavior. T.C.A. § 40-35-114(1). She has had a number of misdemeanor convictions in state and federal courts for drug related offenses. As an additional enhancement factor, the trial judge found that she had no hesitation in committing a crime where the risk to human life was high. T.C.A. § 40-35-114(10). Considering the potency of crack cocaine, it certainly can be said that there is a high risk to human life from the distribution of that substance. It can also be said that the crime involved great potential for bodily injury, T.C.A. § 40-35-114(16), since the use of crack cocaine is, without a doubt, injurious to the human body. 25”
