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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While it is considered good practice to enumerate in the court’s charge the probationary conditions which the court may impose if probation is recommended by the jury, the failure to so enumerate the said conditions is not harmful to the accused or restrictive of the court’s authority under the statute.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Shappley v. State · Brass v. State““(a) Commit no offense against the laws of this State or of any other State or of the United States; “(b) Avoid injurious or vicious habits; “(c) Avoid persons or places of disreputable or harmful character; “(d) Report to the probation officer as directed; “(e) Permit the probation officer to visit him at his home or elsewhere; “(f) Work faithfully at suitable employment as far as possible; “(g) Remain within a specified place; “(h) Pay his fine, if one be assessed, and all court costs whether a fine be assessed or not, in one or several sums, and make restitution or reparation in any sum that the court shall determine; and “(i) Support his dependents.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Tyra v. State · Shappley v. State““There is always value in making all conditions explicit, primarily as an aid to the offender in increasing his understanding of what is expected of him. The impropriety of imposing conditions which achieve such a level of generality as to be of no particular value seems clear.””
