The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“Granting probation is a matter of the trial court’s broad discretion subject only to the statutory provision that the grant shall promote the rehabilitation of the defendant and the protection of the community. We will interfere only upon the finding of abuse of that discretion. Each decision must be made on an individual basis, and no simple factor is alone determinative.”
