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

  1. “all the procedural safeguards normally required in any criminal trial.”
    4 later decisions quote this exact passage
  2. “Before a more severe punishment [than the standard range] could be imposed, it was necessary for the court to conclude that community supervision would create a "danger to society." This is indistinguishable from the statutory requirement in Specht [v. Patterson, 386 U.S. 605 , 18 L. Ed. 2d 326 , 87 S. Ct. 1209 (1967)], i.e., that the court determine whether the defendant "constitutes a threat of bodily harm to members of the public". Specht v. Patterson, supra at 607.”
    3 later decisions quote this exact passage
  3. “A disposition hearing at which a finding of manifest injustice is sought is clearly an adversary proceeding, since it can result in the imposition of a higher sentence, including incarceration, than would otherwise be permissible. We conclude that such a proceeding must meet the standard set forth in [In re] Gault, [ 387 U.S. 1 , 18 L. Ed. 2d 527 , 87 S. Ct. 1428 (1967)] relating to confrontation and cross-examination of witnesses.”
