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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The record before the judicial officer disclosed that the defendant had pending against him four felonies and two misdemeanors carrying a total possible prison term in excess of thirty-five years, that he had been convicted of six criminal offenses in Vermont, including the felony of aggravated assault, that he had been convicted of a felony sale of drugs, escape from a county jail, and escape from the custody of an officer in New Hampshire, and that he had failed to appear for motor vehicle violations in Vermont on five different occasions since October 2, 1972. Given these circumstances, we find no error in the judicial officer’s revocation of bail upon a finding that the defendant had violated his condition of release.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“1. The defendant was before the Court on October 2, 1978, on the felony charges of receiving stolen property and possession of marijuana, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of an illegal deer. Based on the defendant’s criminal record including six convictions, one of which was the felony of aggravated assault and two of which involved Fish & Game offenses, the Court found that the defendant was a danger to be at large and he was released on non-monetary conditions of release, No. 3 of which stated “Defendant shall not be the subject of a new charge of a felony or a crime against a person or a like offense to the offense charged for which, after hearing, probable cause is found.””
