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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to constitute a fleeing from justice, it is not necessary that the course of justice should have been put in operation by the presentment of an indictment by a grand jury, or by the filing of an information by the attorney for the government, or by the making of a complaint before a magistrate. It is sufficient that there is a flight with the intention of avoiding being prosecuted, whether a prosecution has or has not been actually begun.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“reflects the congressional belief that where the defendant impedes the discovery and prosecution of his criminal conduct by `fleeing from justice,' his right to avoid prosecution for distant offenses is diminished while the government's need for additional discovery time is strengthened.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Taken in context, Streep merely indicates that just as flight before the initiation of prosecution requires extradition, so too does preindictment flight trigger the tolling statute. Streep does not implicate the extradition statute's nonintent-based standard under the tolling statute.”
