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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In State ex rel. Gash v. Morgan Superior Court (1972) 258 Ind. 485 , 283 N.E.2d 349 , our Supreme Court ruled, inter alia, that if probation revocation was based upon the commission of another offense an adjudication of guilt must precede the revocation. 283 N.E.2d at 355 (interpreting former I.C. 35-7-2-2 (amended 1976 & 1977)); accord, Ewing v. State (2d Dist.1974) 160 Ind.App. 138 , 310 N.E.2d 571 . Gash was overruled by Hoffa v. State (1977) 267 Ind. 133 , 368 N.E.2d 250 , wherein the court stated, “It is not necessary that a criminal conviction precede revocation of probation for unlawful conduct; it is only necessary that the trial judge, after a hearing, finds such unlawful conduct to have occurred.” 368 N.E.2d at 252 . This change of position was merited because, as stated by the Court: “(O)ur trial court’s power to suspend the sentence and use probation is an important judicial tool in the administration of criminal justice. In order to preserve this power we must, therefore, impose only reasonable restrictions in its exercise. This becomes a matter of judicial necessity if we are to encourage the use of probationary authority as a matter of grace in the administration of justice.” 368 N.E.2d at 252 (original emphasis).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Thornton v. State“"We must stress, however, that each case must be decided on the basis of evidence presented at the revocation hearing. In many instances of acquittal the state may not be able to meet its preponderance burden.... Here, the evidence presented at Jackson's eriminal trial was re-examined, additional testimony was taken, and the limited rights afforded an alleged probation violator were fully protected."”
