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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) The period of delay resulting from other proceedings concerning the defendant, including ... the time from filing until final disposition of pretrial motions of the defendant, including motions to suppress evidence, motions to quash the indictment or information, demurrers and pleas in abatement and motions for a change of venue. .. . (b) The period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request or with the consent of the defendant or his counsel.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Andrew v. State · State v. Beck“[A] defendant whose trial is set at the end of the 6-month period, but who fails to appear for that trial, is not necessarily entitled to an immediate trial when he subsequently appears in court. It would appear in many cases that a delay after the defendant’s reappearance might be justified for good cause, such as a congested docket in the trial court, or scheduling difficulties on the part of the trial judge or the prosecutor.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Kriegler“Finally, we set down specific guidelines for future cases, stating that when the trial court sets a date for trial outside the 6-month period, the court shall: “(1) Advise the defendant of his statutory right to a speedy trial and the effect of his consent to a period of delay, and ... (2) Ascertain of record whether the defendant does or does not waive his right to a speedy trial and consent to the trial date set.””
