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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Because the right not to be subjected to double jeopardy is so important and because it is frustrated when a trial ends before a verdict is reached, the State bears a heavy burden in justifying a mistrial over the objection of a defendant. ... Doubt about whether the mistrial is appropriate is resolved “in favor of the liberty of the citizen.” ... The State must demonstrate “manifest necessity” for the mistrial, a requirement that has been part of this country’s jurisprudence since 1824_ The manifest necessity standard must be applied on a case-by-case basis and cannot be applied mechanically.”

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment protects a defendant in a criminal proceeding against multiple punishments or repeated prosecutions for the same offense. See United States v. Wilson, 420 U.S. 332, 343 [ 95 S.Ct. 1013 , 43 L.Ed.2d 232 ] [(1975)]; North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 717 [ 89 S.Ct. 2072 , 23 L.Ed.2d 656 ] [(1969)]. Underlying this constitutional safeguard is the belief that “the State with all its resources and power should not be allowed to make repeated attempts to convict an individual for an alleged offense, thereby subjecting him to embarrassment, expense and ordeal and compelling him to live in a continuing state of anxiety and insecurity, as well as enhancing the possibility that even though innocent he may be found guilty.” Green v. United States, 355 U.S. 184, 187-188 [ 78 S.Ct. 221 , 2 L.Ed.2d 199 ] [(1957)].”
