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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[h]ere, the record shows a delay in bringing [Lattimore] to trial, which is presumptively prejudicial. But delay, standing alone, is insufficient to establish a speedy trial violation. And [Lattimore] has neither demonstrated nor claimed actual prejudice. Under these circumstances, where the delay was not deliberately caused by the State, [Lattimore] [did not] assert his right to a speedy trial, and he has failed to show specific prejudice caused by the delay,. . . the scales are weighted against [Lattimore's] claim and in favor of the State's duty to protect the person and property of its citizens by prosecuting the criminal charges. Thus, . . . the trial court abused its discretion in granting [Lattimore's] motion to dismiss the indictment.”
