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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The statute requires that the offender "shall" be terminated from sentence if eighteen-months' probation is completed without violation. This strong mandate is not consistent with the State's position that the eighteen-month term is "tolled" when any violation occurs within the period... . This construction would obviate the certainty and regularity created by the statute and ignore the plain meaning of the word "terminate."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Moya“The order, as written and pronounced, sentenced the defendant to three years of probation. The judge did not state in his order that the term of three years was actually two consecutive terms of eighteen months each. Although, the judge may have intended the terms to run consecutively, we do not examine his intent where the written order is unequivocal.”
