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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendant’s failure to take the stand does not obviate the court’s duty to determine if the restitution award is within defendant’s ability to pay. If defendant does not take the stand on his own behalf, it will be necessary for the State to establish in some other manner defendant’s ability to pay restitution. The failure of the court to make any findings as to defendant’s ability to pay the restitution award requires our reversal of the restitution order.”
