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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A delay of over fourteen months from the time of arrest to the time of trial is substantial, especially in a misdemeanor case such as this. . . . Even though he was free on bail during the delay, the defendant was constantly subject to call by the court. A person in such a situation is unable to lead a ‘normal life.’ . . . One of the basic reasons for the speedy trial right is ‘to minimize [the] anxiety and concern of the accused’.. . .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The right to a speedy trial is guaranteed by both the sixth amendment to the Federal Constitution, which is applicable to the States, and the constitution of this State, N.H.
