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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he context of the case makes it clear that the key phrase in this passage is ‘fair determination’, and the key word ‘fair’. It would not be fair to allow a defendant to mislead the jury about the merits of his application for probation. If the State must bring in extraneous offenses to dispel the false impression, then the necessity of a ‘fair’ determination on the application for a probation allows it to do so. But in the present case, there is no contention that appellant misled the jury and that the introduction of the extraneous offenses was necessary to dispel the false impression.”
