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

  1. “While statutes of limitations are the " 'primary guarantee against bringing overly stale criminal charges'", such statutes do not fully define a defendant's rights with respect to events occurring prior to charging. Instead, due process requires dismissal óf a charge if it is shown at trial that precharging delay caused substantial prejudice to a defendant's rights to a fair trial. We have framed a 3-prong test for determining when preaccusatorial delay violates due process. Under that test, "(1) The defendant must show he was prejudiced by the delay; (2) the court must consider the reasons for the delay; and (3) if the State is able to justify the delay, the court must undertake a further balancing of the State's interest and the prejudice to the accused."”
