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.

“Where a defendant successfully moves for a mistrial, the Double Jeopardy Clause generally does not bar reproseeution, even if the motion for a mistrial is necessitated by prosecutorial error. However, retrial is barred where the conduct giving rise to the successful motion for a mistrial was intended to provoke the defendant into moving for a mistrial.”
