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

1. “[t]he facial invalidity we noted [there] is relevant only to the one year statute of limitation for personal restraint petitions but does not control determination of any other issues.”

2. “The determination of whether there is manifest necessity to retry [the defendant], without [his] consent, should control whether jeopardy continues and retrial is constitutional. [The defendant's] individual interests and constitutional protections must be balanced with society's interest in recharging [the defendant] with another offense to ensure the ends of justice are met. [The defendant's] individual right to be free from continuing jeopardy imposed by the government weighs heavily in his favor. Fairness and justice dictate that an individual who has served his sentence, and is not seeking any relief other than that imposed in the original action, should not be retried by the State for the same offense.”

3. “[T]he double jeopardy clause is cased in terms of the risk or hazard of trial and conviction, not of the ultimate legal consequences of the verdict. Price v. Georgia, 398 U.S. 323, 331 , 90 S.Ct. 1757 , 26 L.Ed.2d 300 (1970). It is the trial itself that is the focus of this protection, and because Hall has been through trial once, convicted, served his full sentence, and has not sought any relief, he is entitled to the finality due to him.”
