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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[Defendants urge] that [they] were deprived of their right to a speedy trial because the prosecution failed to obtain an indictment until over a year after the cab murder took place. There is no statute of limitation as to murder. Penal Code, § 799. * * *. The constitutional guarantees of a speedy trial, U. S. Const., VI Am; State Const. art. I, § 13, were not violated. One does not become an ‘accused’ until the filing of a complaint or other charge.””
