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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If a defendant could be sentenced to probation, there would no judicial recourse in the event the defendant violated his probation. Because the court has already passed sentence, there would be no lawful basis for the imposition of punishment for the violation of the conditions of probation. However, as Chapter 948 envisions, when a sentence or a portion thereof is withheld, there would be a lawful basis for the imposition of punishment for the violation of a condition of probation, namely, the withheld sentence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A court may impose a sentence of imprisonment or fine upon a defendant found guilty of an offense, or it may withhold sentence in whole or in part and place defendant on probation, but it cannot sentence defendant to probation, since withholding of sentence or a portion thereof is an indispensable prerequisite to entry of an order placing a defendant on probation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““If incarceration is prescribed, the court may direct the defendant be placed on probation upon completion of any specified period of such sentence. But in doing so, the court must stay and withhold the imposition of a part of such sentence.””
