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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“46.0915 Lawful arrest—By officer or private citizen without warrant. The arrest of a person may also be lawfully made by an officer or a private citizen without a warrant, upon reasonable information that the accused stands charged in the courts of another state with a crime punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year; but when so arrested the accused must be taken before the High Court of American Samoa with all practicable speed and complaint must be against him [or her] under oath setting forth the ground for the arrest as in 46.0914, and thereafter, his [or her] answer shall be heard as if he [or she] had been arrested on a warrant. 46.0916 Commitment to jail required when. If, from the examination before the High Court of American Samoa, it appears that the person held is the person charged with having committed the crime alleged, that he [or she] probably committed the crime and, except in cases arising under 46.0905, that he [or she] has fled from justice, the High Court of American Samoa must commit him [or her] to jail by a warrant reciting the accusation, for such a time specified in the warrant as will enable the arrest of the accused to be made under a warrant of the Governor on a requisition of the executive authority of the state having jurisdiction of the offense unless the accused gives bail as provided in this chapter, or until he [or she] is legally discharged.”
