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.
“[T]his right has no application to a hearing on a motion for a new trial. We think the language used by the drafters of Art. 21 clearly imports guarantees applicable to the processes leading to and ending with the criminal trial itself, and we do not believe that either the motion for a new trial or the hearing thereon constitutes a “trial” or any constituent part thereof within the meaning of Art. 21.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“I’ll assume for the sake of my discussion, that the Court should ... be concerned about the delay occasioned from his arrest in ’87 to the trial ... in October the 25th [1993].... [T]here have been two trials, ... the constitutional right to a speedy trial .. is insured by a trial.... [T]he Defendant’s constitutional right to a speedy trial is perfected ... by a trial.... [T]he reason for those periods of delays [until the mistrial in trial two] ... primarily have been the trials, two trials, the various motions associated with the two trials, a rather prolonged sentencing procedure ... and an Appellate Court procedure---- [T]he primary reason was the time associated with those two trials.... [T]hat to me is of critical significance.... I don’t believe that the Defendant was ... denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial [referring to the first two trials].”
