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.

“This court need only determine whether the action complained of ... violates those fundamental conceptions of justice which lie at the base of our civil and political institutions ... and which define the community's sense of fair play and decency .... The due process clause has not replaced the applicable statute of limitations ... [as] ... the primary guarantee against bringing overly stale criminal charges.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]he law is quite clear that [i]n order to establish a due process violation because of pre-accusation delay, the defendant must show both that actual substantial prejudice resulted from the delay and that the reasons for the delay were wholly unjustifiable, as where the state seeks to gain a tactical advantage over the defendant”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In order to render an expert opinion the witness must be qualified to do so and there must be a factual basis for the opinion.... Some facts must be shown as the foundation for an expert's opinion, but there is no rule of law declaring the precise facts which must be proved before such an opinion may be received in evidence.”
