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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I would ask you to convict this defendant and show the people that we don’t tolerate cocaine in our community, that we don’t want our families exposed to this kind of thing. We don’t want our children growing up with cocaine, and the way you send that message in a case like this is, first of all, you convict the defendant; and secondly, you assess the punishment that will get the attention and deter people from bringing drugs into this community.”
