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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “We view the language of article IV(c), requiring trial within 120 days “[i]n respect of any proceeding made possible by this article,” to relate only to the charges underlying the detainer which made the proceedings possible. Such conclusion is supported by the language of article IV(b), recognizing that separate detain-ers may be filed against a prisoner by officials of a foreign jurisdiction. Therefore, we conclude that the Arapahoe County charges were not subject to the 120-day requirement of article IV(c) because those charges did not underlie a detainer previously lodged against the defendant. This construction also accords with one of the purposes of the IAD. The IAD is designed in part to benefit states agreeing to accept its provisions by expediting the difficult process of disposing of criminal charges pending against persons who are no longer in the jurisdiction of the forum.... In view of the language of this article and this purpose of the IAD, we construe article IV(c) as referring to proceedings relating to the charges upon which the detainer activating the provisions of the IAD was based. A contrary construction would create further difficulties in resolving untried charges pending against absent defendants.”

2. “the language of article IV(c), requiring trial within 120 days “in respect of any proceeding made possible by this arti cle,” ... relate[s] only to the charges underlying the detainer which made the proceedings possible. Such conclusion is supported by the language of article IV(b), recognizing that separate detain-ers may be filed against a prisoner by officials of a foreign jurisdiction. Therefore, we conclude that the [charges contained in the third information] were not subject to the 120-day requirement of article IV(c) because those charges did not underlie a detainer previously lodged against the defendant. This construction also accords with one of the purposes of the IAD. The IAD is designed in part to benefit states agreeing to accept its provisions by expediting the difficult process of disposing of criminal charges pending against persons who are no longer in the jurisdiction of the forum. In view of the language of this article and this purpose of the IAD, we construe article IY(c) as referring to proceedings relating to the charges upon which the detainer activating the provisions of the IAD was based.”
