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.

1. ““This provision would seem to require that the first move be by the accused rather than the state. If he does not do so, he waives his rights under the act and the state would not be required to show readiness in compliance with the Act’s requirements. Once the defendant files the motion to dismiss for failure to adhere to the provisions of the Act, the state must declare its readiness for trial then and at the times required by the Act. This declaration is prima facie showing of conformity to the Act (footnote omitted), but can be rebutted by evidence submitted by the defendant demonstrating that the state was not ready for trial during the Act’s time limits.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
