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

1. “Upon motion of the defendant, the court for good cause shown shall require the prosecuting attorney ... to assist the defendant in seeking access to specified matters relating to the case which are within the possession or control of an official or employee of any governmental agency, but which are not within the control of the prosecuting attorney. The prosecuting attorney shall use diligent good faith efforts to cause the official or employee to allow the defendant access at any reasonable time and in any reasonable manner to inspect, photograph, copy, or have reasonable tests made.”

2. “Critical impact, the threshold question, is intended to be a demanding standard, but with some flexibility. The [sjtate can show critical impact when complying with an order significantly reduces the likelihood of a successful prosecution. The [sjtate does not have to show that conviction is impossible after the pretrial order — only that the prosecution’s likelihood of success is seriously jeopardized.”
