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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... the evidence presented at the transfer hearing was insufficient to waive jurisdiction because there was no showing that the `seriousness of the offense and the protection of the community requires treatment of the youth beyond that afforded by juvenile facilities,' as required by section 10-1229(1)(d)(ii), (now section 41-5-206(1)(d)(ii), MCA). The State argues the very nature of the offenses demonstrates the need for treatment of the youth beyond available juvenile facilities. We cannot agree. To assume that juvenile facilities are inadequate from the mere fact that the youth is charged with a serious offense, completely ignores the rehabilitative purpose of the Act as set forth in section 10-1202 (now section 41-5-102, MCA), and is tantamount to a judicial admission the juvenile facilities in Montana are inadequate to cope with the hard core youth offender. We will not do this. " (Emphasis added.)”
