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.
“(2) A suspension or probation shall not be revoked except after a revocation hearing. Such hearing shall be conducted by the courf that suspended imposition of sentence on defendant or placed him on probation within a reasonable period of time ... The defendant shall be given prior written notice of the time and place of the revocation hearing, the purpose of the hearing, and the condition of suspension or probation he is alleged to have violated. Except as provided in subsection (3), the defendant shall have the right to hear and controvert evidence against him, to offer evidence in his own defense, and to be represented by counsel. [Emphasis added.]”
