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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A violation which triggers a revocation of probation must be willful and substantial and the willful and substantial nature of the violation must be supported by the greater weight of the evidence." Hightower v. State, 529 So.2d 726 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988). In spite of Young's admission to the violation for the narrow reason that he had actually been dismissed from the SHARE program, he expressed a willingness to complete some form of MDSO counseling. The probation order did not specify the period within which Young was to complete the program, how many chances he would be given to obtain success, or when within the eighteen year term of his suspended sentence he was required to complete the program. Because the order was so non-specific, and because Young professed his desire to complete this condition of probation in some form acceptable to him, we have determined from the totality of the several considerations that the trial court abused its discretion in revoking Young's probation.”
