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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although we have concluded that bail may be granted in habeas corpus proceedings challenging rendition, we do not intend to say that bail must be granted. All of the normally relevant considerations bearing on bail are applicable. We have noted the statutory limitation on bail in those cases where the punishment in the demanding State is death or life imprisonment. Moreover, the Commonwealth’s obligations to the demanding State should be recognized. It would be a rare case in which bail would be warranted when the “fugitive” had escaped from custody in the demanding State or had violated the terms of his release on bail, parole, or probation. Even where the “fugitive” has not yet been convicted, bail should be granted only in circumstances in which it is reasonably certain that the Commonwealth will be able to fulfil its obligation to turn the “fugitive” over to the demanding State if he is unsuccessful in his habeas corpus challenge.”
