citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

An order to set aside an indictment or information, as provided in this chapter, is no bar to a future prosecution for the same offense.
