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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is obvious from the condition upon which defendant’s prison sentence was suspended and the nature of the crime involved that the trial judge considered as an important aspect of the defendant’s rehabilitation that the defendant not find himself in a position wherein he would more than likely repeat this same offense. . . . This condition was clearly directly related to and grew out of the offense for which the defendant was convicted and was consistent with proper punishment for the crime.”
