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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) a written notice of the conditions allegedly violated; (2) a court hearing on the violation(s) including: (a) a disclosure of the evidence against him, or, (b) a waiver of the presentation of the State’s evidence by an in-court admission of the willful or without lawful excuse violation as contained in the written notice (or report) of violation, (c) an opportunity to be heard in person and to present witnesses and evidence, (d) the right to cross-examine adverse witnesses; (3) a written judgment by the judge which shall contain (a) findings of fact as to the evidence relied on, (b) reasons for revoking probation.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“If, upon a proceeding to revoke probation or a suspended sentence, a defendant wishes to rely upon his inability to make payments as required by its terms, he should offer evidence of his inability for consideration by the judge. Otherwise, evidence establishing that defendant has failed to make payments as required by the judgment may justify a finding by the judge that defendant’s failure to comply was willful or was without lawful excuse.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“to resolve the factual question of whether the probationer has in fact violated one or more conditions of his probation. If so, a second question for the trial judge is whether probation should be revoked and the suspended sentence activated, or whether other steps should be taken to protect society and improve chances of rehabilitation, such as, continuation of probation or modification of conditions of probation.”
