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.

1. “Mr. Lewis, I tend to agree with you that probation is designed for rehabilitation, and I’m not certain that there’s anything that probation can assist you with at this point in time to complete any rehabilitative process. It seems that those efforts have been made, and I don’t think we’re going to get better by keeping you on probation. Therefore, I am going to follow the recommendation. I will unsuccessfully terminate your probation today because there’s ... an outstanding amount, and that will be entered as a judgment against you.”

2. “The court, on its own initiative or on application of the probationer, after notice and an opportunity to be heard for the prosecuting attorney and, on request, the victim, may terminate the period of probation or intensive probation and discharge the defendant at a time earlier than that originally imposed if in the court’s opinion the ends of justice will be served and if the conduct of the defendant on probation warrants it.”
