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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Conceivably, successive prosecutions each long delayed over the protests or demand for trial by the accused and then abandoned without reason, and a new one instituted might be so oppressive and prejudicial to the rights of a respondent that such conduct, as a whole, on the part of prosecuting officers would violate his constitutional right to a speedy trial even on a new prosecution. 143 Me. at 323 , 62 A.2d at 188 .”

Slorah, 118 Me. 203 , 106 A. 768 , 4 A. L. R. 1256; State v. Elden, 41 Me. 165 . Trial and conviction or trial and acquittal before a court without jurisdiction do not prevent another prosecution for the same offense.””
