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.

The judge of the court having jurisdiction may in extreme cases, upon affidavit filed with the judge of the commission of a crime, require all available evidence to be delivered to the Attorney General for prosecution, if the district attorney refuses to prosecute any person for such crime.
