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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“within the maximum period for which the defendant might originally have been sentenced to be imprisoned.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Code § 19.2-303 permits the trial court, after conviction, to “suspend imposition of sentence or suspend the [execution of] sentence in whole or part and in addition [to] place the accused on probation.” (Emphasis added.) Section 19.2-304 deals with probation only and permits the court to increase or decrease the period of probation or modify any condition of probation.... [Code § 19.2-303] also permits the court under specified circumstances to suspend or otherwise modify the unserved portion of a sentence and place the defendant on probation.... Consequently, we see the statutes as distinguishing between a suspension, ... on the one hand, and probation, on the other hand.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Moreover, “[w]hen interpreting a statute, the courts have a duty to give full force and effect to every word thereof.” “A construction which would ... enervate, impede and paralyze the administration of the criminal laws of the State should not be adopted unless the legislative intent to produce such a result is clearly indicated.” Clearly, the legislature in tended to grant broad discretion to judges to revoke suspensions of sentences for cause. Thus, the statutes “should be liberally construed to provide trial courts a valuable tool for rehabilitation of criminals.””
