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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““I am well aware that there are situations where, though joinder is technically proper under Buie 8(b) there exists such danger of undue prejudice to a defendant that the court should exercise the discretion granted under Bule 14 to order severance. (Citing cases.) “On the other hand, some danger of prejudice is attendant upon all trials involving multiple defendants, particularly conspiracy trials. See United States v. Cohen, supra, 145 F.2d at page 95 and public policy considerations of economy and speed in the administration of justice require that severance be denied in the absence of a clear-cut showing of prejudice against which the trial court will not be able to afford protection.””
