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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The inconvenience and financial hardship in Joyner's case, while regrettable do not prejudice his substantial rights. There is no evidence in the record that a fair trial was impossible. Joyner claims he and his witnesses would be inconvenienced, but there is no evidence to suggest that the witnesses would not be available for trial. Nor does the fact that Joyner had expended energy in preparation preclude the opportunity for fair trial.”

2. “The general rule in criminal prosecutions is that a dismissal of the charge will not bar a renewal of proceedings unless the substantial rights of the accused have been prejudiced, as where speedy trial is found to have been denied or jeopardy has attached in the first prosecution.”
