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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The standard to be applied in determining whether or not a defendant has been denied a speedy trial within the meaning of the Sixth Amendment ‘is a balancing test, in which the conduct of both the prosecution and the defendant are weighed’.... This weighing process is to be employed on a case by case basis with consideration of all the factors involved. Four of those factors have been identified as ‘[ljength of delay, the reason for the delay, the defendant’s assertion of his right, and prejudice to the defendant’. State v. Powers, 612 S.W.2d 8, 12 (Mo.App.1980) (citations omitted).”
