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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Once an investigator is appointed and renders services to the defendant and incurs expenses in his behalf, he is entitled to be paid therefor by the county. He should file his claim with the county as provided for in Chapter 15, Title 17, U.C.A.1953. If the claim is reasonable in amount, the county should pay it. In case a dispute arises and the claim is rejected, a suit could be brought against the county pursuant to Section 17-15-12, U.C.A.1953, and the amount to be paid could then be determined in a proper proceeding. The court cannot enter into a contract for the county and should not in the absence of a filing of a complaint and a trial thereon express an opinion as to the amount of money which should be paid on any given claim. It would appear that the County Commissioners should be given an opportunity to employ an impartial and competent investigator and to enter into a contractual arrangement as to the compensation to be paid therefor, and the court should only become involved if and when the county fails and refuses to act.”
