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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although probation cannot be revoked based only on hearsay evidence which would be inadmissible at a criminal trial, revocation can be grounded on that type of evidence and evidence which is admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule. The question is not ... whether all of the evidence is generally defined as hearsay, but rather whether there is some evidence to support revocation which would be admissible at a criminal trial. Because the officer's testimony as to appellant's excuse (which conflicted with appellant's testimony at the hearing) would have been admissible at trial, there was sufficient evidence to revoke.”
