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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[s]ection 1382 does not define 'good cause' as that term is used in the provision, but numerous California appellate decisions that have reviewed good-cause determinations under this statute demonstrate that, in general, a number of factors are relevant to a determination of good cause: (1) the nature and strength of the justification for the delay, (2) the duration of the delay, and (3) the prejudice to either the defendant or the prosecution that is likely to result from the delay.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“in light of the very brief duration of the delay in the commencement of the trial and the absence of any indication that the delay adversely affected defendants' ability to defend themselves against the charges, the Court of Appeal properly found that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding good cause existed to deny Jackson's motion to dismiss the proceeding under section 1382.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“when , as here, two defendants are jointly charged in an information and the trial court continues the trial as to one of the defendants for good cause , section 1050.1 provides that the continuance of the trial as to that defendant constitutes good cause to continue the trial `a reasonable period of time' as to the other defendant in order to permit the defendants to be tried jointly.”
