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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““In Gronski v. State, Wyo., 700 P.2d 777, 778 (1985), this court stated: “ ‘The imposition as well as the revocation of probation lies within the sound discretion of the district court, and we will not reverse the actions of the district court unless that discretion is abused.’ “We also there noted that it is well established that all that is required to revoke probation is the court’s conscientious judgment, after hearing the facts, that a violation has occurred. To the same effect are Minchew v. State, Wyo., 685 P.2d 30 (1984); State v. Reisch, Wyo., 491 P.2d 1254 (1971); and Ketcham v. State, Wyo., 618 P.2d 1356 (1980); see also Buck v. State, Wyo., 603 P.2d 878 (1979); and Sanchez v. State, Wyo., 592 P.2d 1130 (1979).””

2. ““ * * * There is ample evidence to support the conclusion that Longwell violated the conditions of his probation. His excuse that he thought he was to receive a copy of the judgment and sentence before his obligation to report commenced is simply that. He knew of that obligation at the time the sentence was pronounced in open court. The conditions of the probation were made known to him at that time. He did not offer any justification for the drinking episodes.” Id., at 338 .”
