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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

A court may revoke the probation, enter a judgment of conviction, and impose any sentence that may have been imposed originally for the offense ‘if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant has inexcusably failed to comply with a condition of his suspension or probation.’ . . . (Emphasis added.) See also: Ark. Crim. Code § 41-1208(4) and (6) (1977 Repl.)”
