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.
“[Although [defendant] was advised of his right to a speedy trial, he was never advised as to the duration of his forfeit of this right. In other words, the lower court’s on record colloquy did not cure [defendant’s] defective waiver. We hold that [defendant] did not make an informed waiver and that, therefore, the waiver was not valid.”
