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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Generally it is only where performance of the conditions of a bail bond has been prevented by an act of God, an act of obligee, or an act of law that the sureties are entitled to relief. 8 Am.Jur.2d, Bail and Recognizance, Section 177, page 879.” Id. 395 S.W.2d 765 .”
