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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The office of prosecuting attorney is a State office. Griffin v. Rhoton, 85 Ark. 89 , 107 S.W. 380 ; Speer v. Wood, 128 Ark. 186 , 193 S.W. 785 ; Dobbs v. Holland, 140 Ark. 405 , 215 S.W. 709, 742 . See also Cotham v. Coffman, 111 Ark. 108 , 163 S.W. 1183 . But the prosecuting attorney is not a State officer within the meaning of § 3772, Crawford & Moses’ Digest, supra. The prosecuting attorney is a State officer whose functions are performed in a subdivision of the State, whereas the State officer to which the statute quoted refers is one elected by the people of the entire State, and not in some political subdivision thereof.”
