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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]t any time before the verdict, the parties may, with the court's approval, stipulate in writing that: (A) the jury may consist of fewer than 12 persons; or (B) a jury of fewer than 12 persons may return a verdict if the court finds it necessary to excuse a juror for good cause after the trial begins.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“the issue is more complex than a strictly rule- based analysis would suggest. While [Rule 23] may excuse the trial judge for declaring a mistrial (at least where there is no practical or feasible alternative), the [manifest necessity] doctrine also implicates the decision-making of the government.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“where the declaration of a mistrial . . . aborts a proceeding that at best would have produced a verdict that could have been upset at will by one of the parties, the defendant's interest in proceeding to verdict is outweighed by the competing and equally legitimate demand for public justice.”
