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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““the judge assumes the role of factfinder to determine: in the first instance, whether the State has met its obligation of showing that there has been a failure of compliance with a condition of probation, and if so, secondly, whether the probationer has carried out his burden of establishing that the violation ‘resulted from factors beyond his control and through no fault of his own.’ ” (Emphasis added).”

State“repeatedly tried to comply with the special condition [that he receive drug treatment], engaged in no act of misconduct affecting others during the probationary period, and was prevented from complying with the special condition because of factors beyond his control[. Thus,] the record does not support a finding that the probationer acted in violation of the special condition of his probation.”
