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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the ruling thus urged by the state [that the period of the rule should stop running when an affidavit is quashed], the state could by the intentional filing of successive defective affidavits keep an accused in jail or under recognizance for the particular charge, with his ultimate trial or discharge being subject only to the will of the prosecuting attorney. The effect would be comparable to placing the accused under an indeterminate probation without first having filed a valid charge against him or having proved his guilt.” Id.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“expressly provided that, following the sustaining of a motion to quash, 'the defendant shall not be discharged, pending the filing of a new indictment or affidavit, unless, in the opinion of the court, the objections raised in the motion to quash cannot be avoided in a new charge.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. May v. State““. . . The mere sustaining of the motion to quash is not a final judgment. It is only where the State has by its appeal elected to stand on the charges filed that this court has treated the sustaining of a motion to quash as a final judgment.” (Our italics)”
