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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In a probation revocation hearing, the decision whether to revoke rests within the discretion of the trial court. This discretion is not absolute. The trial court is not authorized to revoke probation without a showing that the probationer has violated a condition of the probation imposed by the court. The burden of proof in a probation revocation hearing is by a preponderance of the evidence. (Citations omitted.)”
