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

1. “[T]he obvious intent of [Criminal Rule] 4(D) is to permit the State to obtain a ninety day extension of time within which a defendant who has exercised his [Criminal Rule] 4 right to a speedy trial must be tried.... In this manner, any continuance sought by the State because of unavailable evidence that is believed available within ninety days, and which will result in a trial date beyond the time limitations of [Criminal Rule] 4, is timely if filed at any time up to and including the time of the defendant’s motion for discharge.”
