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

  1. “[n]othing in the record proves that this five-month period of “delay” was caused by the Defendant. “It is the State’s burden to show the delay was a result of the defendant’s conduct or otherwise justifiable by the excluded period recognized by the criminal rules.” [Citation omitted.] Simply put, nothing at the September 22, 2010 hearing indicates that the Defendant’s counsel could not have been available for trial two months later in November or around three months later in December. In other words, the trial court did not establish that the February trial date five months after the September hearing was the “next available trial date acceptable to the defendant” so that having to set the trial date for February was a five-month delay caused by the Defendant.”
