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.

1. ““The letter sent by [Maine authorities] in December 1994 was not a ‘detainer’ for the purposes of the [Agreement] because Herrick was not yet serving a prison sentence. Herrick’s attempts to invoke his rights under the [Agreement] prior to May 1995 did not trigger the 180-day time limit contained in Article III because there was no effective detainer lodged against him at that time. Once an effective detainer was lodged against Herrick and he invoked his rights under the [Agreement], he was brought to trial within 180 days.” (Emphasis added.) 686 A.2d at 604 .”
