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.

““The statute vests in the prosecuting attorney the decision as to whether a given defendant is suitable for pretrial diversion and the terms under which diversion will be granted. However, that discretion is not unbridled: It must be exercised so as to serve the interests of justice. (Citations omitted.) To that end, it is subject to review by the trial court upon proper application by the defendant.” Pace v. State, Tenn., 566 S.W.2d 861, 864 (1978).”
