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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The nature and circumstances of the offense; (2) The weight of the evidence against the accused; (3) The defendant’s family ties; (4) The defendant’s employment status; (5) The defendant’s financial resources; (6) The defendant’s character and mental condition; (7) The length of defendant’s residence in the community; (8) Any prior criminal record; and (9) Any flight or failures to appear in court proceedings prior to or during the time of trial.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent““ * * * judge has reason to believe that no one or more conditions of release will reasonably assure that the person will not flee or pose a danger to any other person or to the community. If such a risk of flight or danger is believed to exist, or if it appears that an appeal is frivolous or taken for delay, the person may be ordered detained.” 18 U.S.C. § 3148 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent““Save for situations where the unlikelihood of flight or community danger is relatively plain, the judicial decision hangs on the availability and capability of conditions to reduce those risks to a level of reasonable safety. The Act directs that the determination be made on the basis of what the judge ‘has reason to believe’ and the process of deriving a belief one way or the other is ofttimes an exacting task. For ‘reason to believe that’ an imposition of conditions will or will not ‘reasonably assure’ against flight or dangerousness ‘involves an attempt to predict future behavior on the basis of present information’ and requires a close weighing of the probabilities in light of the relevant circumstances.””
