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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The State contends that '[t]he "crime in question” in this instance is fraud in the offer and sale of a security to the public.’ It reasons that all investors who purchased stock from Eilts are victims of the 'crime in question,’ and that the named count victims are only representative of the entire class of victims. We find no merit in the State’s reasoning. The State has not proved — and Eilts does not admit — that he acted with fraudulent intent toward the unnamed purchasers of American General Industries stock. Although they are victims in the sense that they exchanged their money for what turned out to be worthless stock, it cannot be said that they are the victims of a 'crime.’ ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Conditions may be imposed on probation. . . . The court in granting probation, may suspend the imposing or the execution of the sentence . . . "... The court may also require the defendant to make such monetary payments, on such terms as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, as are necessary ... (2) to make restitution to any person or persons who may have suffered loss or damage by reason of the commission of the crime in question . . ." (Italics ours.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A party sued civilly has important due process rights, including appropriate pleadings, discovery, and a right to a trial by jury on the specific issues of liability and damages. The judge in the criminal trial should not be permitted to emasculate those rights by simply declaring his belief that the defendant owes a sum of money.”
