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.
“The Board is granted discretion to release an offender on parole “[w]hen in its opinion there is reasonable probability that an offender ... can be released without detriment to the community or himself § 217.690.1; the Board may order parole only in the best interest of society, § 217.690.2; and the Board may place the offender “on parole only when the [Bjoard believes that he is able and willing to fulfill the obligations of a law-abiding citizen.” Id. Thus, the Board, in effect, represents society and determines what is in society’s best interest.”
