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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is well settled that '[m]ere disbelief of testimony is not proof of facts of an opposite nature or tendency,' and that 'such disbelief [will] not be [the] equivalent of proof to the contrary' "). While the judge was free to reject the defendant's testimony on credibility grounds, lacking a full consideration of the Henry factors, the record does not afford a reasonable basis for finding that the defendant wilfully violated the terms of probation. "To be sure, the defendant bore the burden of persuasion, but the judge's findings were inadequate to support the conclusion that the defendant had an ability to pay restitution.”
