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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The provisions of Rule 746 (now Rule 4-271) are of mandatory application, binding upon the prosecution and defense alike; they are not mere guides or benchmarks to be observed, if convenient.... [Dismissal of the criminal charges is the appropriate sanction where the State fails to bring the case to trial within the 120 day (now 180) prescribed by the Rule and where ‘extraordinary cause’ (now good cause) justifying a trial postponement has not been established.””
