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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he question of compulsory process in criminal cases involves such disparate elements as surprise, diligence, materiality and maintenance of orderly procedure ... [The] cases ... turn on whether the accused has made a reasonable showing of these factors ( State v. Hogan, 29 Wn.2d 407 , 187 P.2d 612 (1947); State v. Thomas, 8 Wn.2d 573 , 113 P.2d 73 (1941); State v. Baker, 150 Wash. 82 , 272 Pac. 80 (1928)); and this court leaves the decision largely to the discretion of the trial court to be disturbed only on a showing that the accused was prejudiced by the denial. State v. Lunsford, 163 Wash. 199 , 300 Pac. 529 (1931); State v. Anderson, 132 Wash. 130 , 231 Pac. 456 (1924).”
