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.
“In addition [to other conditions of probation], the court may impose, subject to modification at any time, any other conditions which it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, any of the following: (2) That [the probationer] shall pay any fine assessed and the costs of the proceeding in such installments as the court may direct.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A probation condition requiring repayment of costs and attorneys fees is constitutionally acceptable if it is tuned to the probationer’s ability to pay without undue hardship and is subject to modification if his indigency persists or reoccurs ... Probation may not be revoked for failure to pay restitution, costs and attorneys fees unless the probationer’s failure is contumacious ... A trial court seeking to revoke probation for failure to pay assessed costs or restitution must make findings of fact that indicate defendant’s ability to pay, weighing available assets, income, attempts to find work, and reasonable family expenses.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“(d) Subject to such rules as the supreme court of appeals shall promulgate, the circuit court shall have plenary power in every case in which services are rendered to an indigent person, whether or not services are thereafter denied under this section, to make such order for the repayment of costs and compensation for services granted to such person, either as condition of probation or otherwise, as the court may determine to be reasonable given the financial circumstances of the affiant,”
