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 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is well established that a charge of bail jumping or escape may be deemed sufficiently “connected” with a substantive offense to permit a single trial, at least where the charges are related in time, the motive for flight was avoidance of prosecution, and appellant’s custody stemmed directly from the substantive charges.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The simple answer to [appellant’s claim that joinder of bail jumping and cocaine charges was improper because those offenses are not of a similar character] is that the scope of [the rule] is broader. It also permits joinder where the offenses are “connected together.””
