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.
“`make restitution to any victim in accordance with the provisions of chapter 23A-28.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“SDCL ch. 23A-28 ... places the responsibility for preparing and distributing plans of restitution with the board of pardons and paroles. This is consistent with the principle of separation of powers enunciated in State v. Oban, 372 N.W.2d 125, 129 (S.D.1985): "[O]nce an offender is within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of government, the judicial branchthe circuit courtloses jurisdiction and control[.]" . . . . [T]rial courts may prepare plans of restitution when defendants are under its jurisdiction. However, once the defendant enters the penitentiary, the Board of Pardons and Paroles may prepare its own plan of restitution.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Hurst“[h]ere, where the plea hearing contains no hint of restitution, and the court discussed only potential imprisonment terms and fines with Wolff, the restitution ordered is beyond the scope of Wolff's agreement.”
