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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The “vicinage” 10 provision of the Sixth Amendment stipulates that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall be tried by an impartial jury of the State “and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law....” U.S. Const., amend. VI. Neither federal nor state authorities, however, currently require application of this clause to state prosecutions. See Cook v. Morrill, 783 F.2d 593, 595 (5th Cir.1986); Martin v. Beto, 397 F.2d 741, 748 (5th Cir.1968), cert. denied, 394 U.S. 906 , 89 S.Ct. 1008 , 22 L.Ed.2d 216 (1969); State v. Paiz, 817 S.W.2d 84, 85 (Tex.Crim.App.1991); but see Paiz, 817 S.W.2d at 86 (assuming, arguendo, that it did apply). We therefore hold that no error in relation to the vicinage provision of the Sixth Amendment was. committed. in the transfer of appellant’s case from Webb to Nueces County. Point of error ten is overruled.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Blankenship“Simply stated, I question whether Webb County could visit on one of the rural, small counties, the task of trying a capital murder case. Not because of the nature of this case or because of the dangerousness of anyone or the danger to the witnesses or the defendant, the Sheriffs departments to handle the traffic and just the matter of security that goes with this type of trial. Not having heard any evidence as to why it should go into one [of] these adjoining counties, even though some evidence was presented concerning the ability of the different Sheriffs departments. My own experience in Zapata tells me that it is indeed a very, very difficult task to select the jury and try the case and provide adequate security for all concerned.”
