The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““Thus, in cases where it is clear that the prosecutor, motivated by a desire to avoid an acquittal in a case which is going badly, engages in purposeful misconduct which forces the court to declare a mistrial, the policy of protecting an accused individual from harassment by consecutive prosecution may demand that a retrial be barred, even though the mistrial was manifestly necessary. Muller v. State, supra, 478 P.2d at 827 . (footnotes omitted).” The court in Wright concluded that: “There is nothing in the record before us to indicate that the State engaged in any intentional misconduct or that defendant was in any way subjected to harassment or oppression in being tried the third time. We find no violation of defendant’s rights under the double jeopardy provisions of the Arizona or federal Constitutions.””
