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.
““well settled that ‘the entry of a nolle prosequi is generally within the sole discretion of the prosecuting attorney, free from judicial control and not dependent upon the defendant’s consent,’ Ward v. State, 290 Md. 76, 83 , 427 A.2d 1008, 1012 (1981); see also In re Darren M., 358 Md. 104, 112 , 747 A.2d 612, 616 (2000) ... and that it ‘may be entered as to an entire charging document, or one or more counts, or even a part of a count.’ Ward, 290 Md. at 83 , 427 A.2d at 1012 .””
