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 95 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"We think that the document consisting of a warrant of arrest and statement of charges on which the warrant is based 2 (warrant-statement of charges) is a 'formal charge' in the contemplation of the speedy trial right when a defendant is subject to be tried on that document. In that event the criminal prosecution has truly commenced and the putative defendant has become an 'accused.' The State has committed itself to prosecute and the adverse positions of the State and defendant have solidified. 'It is then that a defendant finds himself faced with the prosecutorial forces of organized society, and immersed in the intricacies of substantive and procedural criminal law.' Kirby v. Illinois , 406 U.S. [682] at 689, 92 S.Ct. [1877] at 1882 [ 32 L.Ed.2d 411 (1972)]. A warrant-statement of charges on which a defendant can be tried is tantamount to an indictment or an information. Therefore, its mere issuance marks the commencement of the 'criminal prosecutions' to which alone the explicit guarantees of the Sixth Amendment are applicable. Id. at 690, 92 S.Ct. at 1882."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]hen the defendant cannot be tried under the warrant-statement of charges he is not held to answer a criminal charge on the basis of that document. Its issuance does not mark the onset of formal prosecutorial proceedings to which the Sixth Amendment guarantee is applicable, nor has the putative defendant thereby become an "accused."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“not aware of an opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States or of the appellate courts of this State which holds that a delay of six months is of constitutional dimension”
