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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“No evidence was adduced at the scire facias hearing by either appellant in explanation, excuse, mitigation or palliation of the principal’s flagrant violation of the condition. In such circumstances, we cannot say the trial court abused its discretion in failing to remit the whole or any part of the forfeiture. Bisping v. Commonwealth, 218 Va. 753 (1978).”
