Citation profile

8 state decisions

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 addition to any sentence imposed under this article for a felony or misdemeanor, the court may, as a condition of probation, or without placing the person on probation, order the person to make restitution to the victim of the crime, the victim's estate, or the family of a victim who is deceased. The court shall base its restitution order upon a consideration of: (1)property damages of the victim incurred as a result of the erime, based on the actual cost of repair (or replacement if repair is inappropriate); (2)medical and hospital costs incurred by the victim (before the date of sentencing) as a result of the erime; (B)earnings lost by the victim; and (4)funeral, burial, or cremation costs incurred by the family or estate of a homicide victim as a result of the crime.”
