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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“has articulated two different standards for determining whether the “same or similar” offenses are properly joined. The first standard is met when the counts refer to the same type of offenses occurring over a relatively short period of time, and the evidence as to each count overlaps. This standard has been called the “short-period-of-time/evidence-overlap” formula. Alternatively, if offenses are of like class, although not connected temporally or evidentially, the requisites of proper joinder should be satisfied so far as Rule 8(a) is concerned.”
