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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We are tempted to announce the rule that the remedy by appeal is inadequate whenever it appears inequitable to require the litigants to proceed through a lengthy, expensive trial which, if the present state of the case were allowed to continue, would mean an unquestioned reversal and termination of the entire litigation when appealed after the trial.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“A second trial for the same offense raises the concern of whether or not [the trial court] would be acting in excess of its jurisdiction in proceeding to try the defendant for the offenses charged in the . . . information. Where the constitution prohibits a double jeopardy trial, it would be our view that a trial court does exceed its jurisdiction in proceeding with such trial.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“because the record demonstrates without question that the retrial of petitioner for assault and murder will require reliti-gation of the same ultimate fact — (did petitioner mail the package containing the explosives?) — we have the view that collateral estoppel applies to prohibit retrial on that issue.”
