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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The bail shall be sufficiently high to give reasonable assurance that the undertaking will be complied with. (2) The power to require bail is not to be used as an instrument of oppression. (3) The nature of the offense and the circumstances of its commission are to be considered. (4) The ability to make bail is to be regarded, and proof may be taken on this point. (5) The future safety of a victim of the alleged offense may be considered.”
