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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the period prescribed by subsection (b) of this section has expired, a prosecution for any offense in which the accused’s acts include or constitute ... breach of fiduciary duty or actively concealed theft ... may be commenced within 2 years after discovery of the offense has been made or should have been made in the exercise of ordinary diligence by an aggrieved party ... who is not a party to the offense. In no case shall this provision extend the period of limitation ... by more than an additional 3 years beyond the period specified in subsection (b) of this section.”
