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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * The state attorney who handled this case quite candidly stated to the district court under oath that he kept putting off trial because he “did not want to see him [appellant] be acquitted of this crime.” Thus, this is the only viable excuse for the delay that this court will accept for the period after October 16, 1967. Needless to say, this Court finds this asserted justification extremely unsatisfactory and will weigh this element heavily in the ultimate determination of appellant’s claim.”
