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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the district court must first identify the victim(s) of the defendant’s criminal conduct. [State v.] Bonstetter, 637 N.W.2d [161] at 165 [ (Iowa 2001) ]. A victim is “a person who has suffered pecuniary damages as a result of the offender’s criminal activities.” Iowa Code § 910.1 (5); see also Iowa Code § 4.1 (20) (defining a person as “an individual, corporation, limited liability company, government or governmental subdivision or agency, business trust, estate, trust, partnership or association, or any other legal entity”). Pecuniary damages are damages [not paid by an insurer, which] a victim could recover from the defendant in a civil action. Iowa Code § 910.1 (3). Next, the district court must determine what losses may be included in the calculation of restitution. Bonstetter, 637 N.W.2d at 165. A restitution order may include any damages that are causally related to criminal activities and the order is not excessive if it bears a reasonable relationship to the damage caused by the offender’s criminal act. Id.”
