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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Upon the record before us the county's only burden was to prove that Fields did not appear on the trial date and that his bail was forfeited. It was appellant's and Fields' burden to prove that it was inequitable to insist on the forfeiture and that the forfeiture was not required in the interest of justice. [Citations omitted]. That burden appellant failed to support. The mere fact that defendant is imprisoned in Florida is not sufficient to relieve the forfeiture in whole or in part, especially if he left New Jersey without permission, or is jailed for a new crime. [137 N.J. Super. at 81, 347 A. 2d 811 ].”
