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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to assess a claim of preindictment delay, courts must weigh the governmental interest in postponing accusation against the defendant’s interest in early notice of the pending charges. The absence of a valid reason for the delay and the fact of prejudice must be established for the defendant to prevail. The two factors relevant in considering prein-dictment delay are (1) the reasonableness of the delay, and (2) the resulting harm to the accused: The burden of proof is on the defendant to show the absence of a valid reason for the delay and the fact of prejudice, though the state has the burden, once the issue is raised, to come forward with reasons for the delay. When the reasons are advanced, the defendant must show that they do not justify the delay.”
