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 92 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although [the defendant] was not brought to trial [within the time prescribed by statute] this lapse of time alone is not sufficient to warrant a discharge under Criminal Rule 4.... 'The six months limitation has been prescribed by this Court as a reasonable time. It is in no sense a constitutional guaranty and is subject to reasonable exceptions, limitations and modifica tions, as we shall determine necessary to carry out its constitutional purpose.”
