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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In this case, requiring the defendant to make a donation to the hospital that had provided most of the victim's treatment was more rehabilitative than requiring the defendant to pay a fine because the donation had a direct relationship to the accident and the injuries, thereby advancing the rehabilitative purpose of making the defendant accept his responsibility for the accident. Other jurisdictions have upheld conditions requiring monetary payments that were not explicitly authorized by statute when those conditions shared a nexus with the defendant's crime. . . . We conclude that as long as the condition requiring monetary payment shares a nexus with the defendant's crime, as in this case, it is reasonably related to rehabilitation." [Footnote omitted.] 240 Conn. 650 (1997).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In the present case the nexus shared by the defendant's crime and the imposed condition of making a donation is clear the donation is to be made to the hospital where the victim of the crime was treated. In future cases, however, express findings supporting the requisite nexus would alleviate any concerns on the part of a reviewing court.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[8] In Pieger , one of the cases on which the majority relies, the defendant was required, as a condition of his probation, to donate $2500 to the hospital in which the victim had been treated after being struck and seriously injured by the defendant's motor vehicle.”
