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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

If, however, it is shown that the nol pros had the purpose or the effect of circumventing the requirements of § 591 or Rule 746, the 180-day period will commence to run with the arraignment or first appearance of counsel under the first prosecution.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[Defense Counsel], I agree with you. [The State’s Attorney] knows that. That’s why he gave the litany that he did, because he knows how I feel about those things. What may very well happen is that by operation your client’s going to get the benefits anyway, because I don’t think this case can be put back in. Our docket is too crowded. It cannot be put back in before Hicks runs, and I am not finding good cause so—”
