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 98 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The fundamental purpose of bail is to ensure the presence of an accused throughout all proceedings, including final judgment.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall have a right . . . to be released on bail upon sufficient security . . .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““It perhaps should be pointed out that the bail hearing is not a determination of guilt or innocence but rather a determination of the preliminary issue of the right to reasonable bail. Unless the accused insists otherwise, it may well be conducted somewhat informally, as upon affidavits. If this cannot be agreed upon, then the accused has the right of cross-examination of the state’s witnesses at the bail hearing as well as the right to introduce evidence in his favor. But the court should confine the evidence to the issue involved and not allow an accused to transform the hearing into an unorthodox discovery procedure for forcing the state to produce its cáse. * * * “It is also important that the trial court avoid even the appearance of a determination of ultimate guilt or innocence, lest the rights of the state or. the accused be prejudiced in the subsequent trial on the merits. * * * Unless the accused objects, the safest course, would probably be to hold the bail hearing in camera.””
