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

1. “Rule 36.10(a) contemplates that there will be a subsequent final disposition of the case. The rule provides that the State must certify that the interlocutory appeal is not taken for purposes of delay of the case and that the pretrial ruling substantially prejudices the prosecution of the case. Further, the rule provides that the trial court shall stay the case pending determination of the appeal. If the appellate court reverses the pretrial order appealed, the stay is to be dissolved and the case is to proceed to trial. However, if the appellate court sustains the order appealed, further proceedings are barred on the charge. These certifications and stay order necessarily refer to a pending case. Thus, the State cannot perfect an interlocutory appeal after it has dismissed the case.”
