3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Next week I will be in Grand Rapids and we will be trying a civil case that has been filed and pending for four years. Four years people are waiting to have a case heard, and that’s all I do, night and day, day after day, day after day, cases people have been waiting for. The criminal cases have a priority, and so it gets to be another two or three days. Well, it does get to be that. Instead of three days of time devoted to a case, it gets to be six days for another Jury. Now, I am only saying that so that you should be mindful of these things. I say, it’s very important to the defendant, very important to the Government, if you can possibly agree.'”
