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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This Court has consistently held that the state “bears the heavy burden of showing that it is excused from trying the accused on a charge later than the period mandated by Article 578.” State v. Groth, 483 So.2d 596, 599 (La.1986); State v. Amarena, 426 So.2d 613 (La.1983); State v. Devito, 391 So.2d 813 (La.1980); State v. Driever, 347 So.2d 1132 (La.1977). That burden requires the state to exercise due diligence in discovering the whereabouts of the defendant as well as 114in taking appropriate steps to secure his presence for trial once it has found him. See State v. Taylor, 439 So.2d 410 (La.1983); State v. Nations, 420 So.2d 967 (La.1982); State v. Williams, 414 So.2d 767 (La.1982).”
