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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Upon review, all that is necessary to uphold a district court's decision to revoke probation is evidence that it made a conscientious judgment, after hearing the facts, that a condition of probation had been violated.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The proceedings for probation revocation consist of a two-part process. The first part, the adjudicatory phase, requires the district court to determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether a condition of probation was violated. The second, dispo-sitional phase, is triggered only upon a finding that a condition of probation was violated. In this phase, the district court must deliberate not only upon the violation, but also the reasons the conditions were originally imposed and the cireum-stances surrounding the violation. After consideration of all these factors, the district court must then determine the appropriate consequences of the probationer's violation.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Due process requires that a defendant be given written notice of the claimed violations of probation. Shaw v. State, 998 P.2d 965, 967 (Wyo.2000). In probation revocation proceedings, notice pertains to the charges regarding a violation of the conditions of probation, not to matters discussed during a dispositional phase. W.R.Cr.P. 39(a)(4); Gailey v. State, 882 P.2d 888, 892 (Wyo.1994).”
