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.

1. “(b) The bail agent or surety must: (1) produce the defendant; or (2) prove within three hundred sixty-five (365) days: (A) that the appearance of the defendant was prevented: (i) by the defendant’s illness or death; (ii) because the defendant was at the scheduled time of appearance or currently is in the custody of the United States, a state, or a political subdivision of the United States or a state; (iii) because the required notice was not given; or (iv) because authorities have refused to extradite the defendant, by a preponderance of the evidence; and (B) the defendant’s absence was not with the consent or connivance of the sureties. (c) If the bail agent or surety does not comply with the terms of subsection (b) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the mailing of the notice required under subsection (a)(2), a late surrender fee shall be assessed against the bail agent or surety as follows: [[Image here]] (4) If compliance occurs more than two hundred forty (240) days but not more than three hundred sixty-five (865) days after the mailing of notice, the late surrender fee is eighty percent (80%) of the face value of the bond.”
