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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When a petition alleging delinquency is based on an alleged act committed after the minor’s fourteenth birthday, and the court, after a hearing, deems it contrary to the best interest of the minor or the public to retain jurisdiction, the court may enter an order making such findings and referring the alleged violation to the appropriate prosecuting authority for proper action under the criminal law.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Anthony · State v. Duncan“In the transfer hearing the court is concerned with such issues as the amenability of the child to the rehabilitative measures available to the juvenile court, the necessity of safeguarding the public from the child, and the heinousness of the alleged offense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Speck v. Auger · Brown v. Cox““The court finds that the offense of murder by stabbing, if done in the manner described in the juvenile’s statement is a heinous crime and that recourse to the services of the juvenile court for a period of less than five months [at which time the juvenile would become 18 years of age] could not guarantee the protection of society from the juvenile if he was guilty of the act. The court therefore finds the retaining of jurisdiction in this case by the juvenile court would be contrary to the best interests of society. “It is therefore ordered by the court that the alleged violation of state law forming the basis for allegation of delinquency in the petition filed in this court on September 19,1974 * * * be and the same is hereby referred to the Black Hawk County Attorney for proper action under the criminal law. “The Black Hawk County juvenile court hereby waives all jurisdiction in this matter and the petition alleging the juvenile Bobbie Earl Anthony is a delinquent child is ordered dismissed.””
