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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The penalty set forth in Article IV(e) for violation of the statute is that “such indictment, information or complaint shall not be of any further force or effect, and the court shall enter an order dismissing the same with prejudice.” This language suggests that Congress only intended to include pre-conviction proceedings. Otherwise Congress would have included in the penalty clause language that the conviction or the sentence be vacated. Once a guilty verdict is returned or a guilty plea accepted, the instruments referred to in Article IV(e), (“indictment, information or complaint”) are no longer viable functioning documents. Realistically, the conviction discharges the instrument. Thus, we believe Congress intended the “trial” to end when a conviction was entered or a plea was accepted and did not intend to include post-conviction proceedings within the detainer statute.”
