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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where one is charged with the commission of an offense and is tried therefor, there is a presumption that the proceedings were regular and in conformity with law. (Cases cited.) Also, it is presumed that the accused is sane. The presumption of sanity continues until overcome by evidence. (Cases cited.) “When, however, it is once established that a person has been legally adjudged mentally incompetent, the presumption of sanity no longer prevails; in its place there arises a presumption of lack of mental ca-pacity, and the burden of proving mental capacity devolves upon him who asserts it. (Cases cited.)””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““There, the defendant waived counsel and entered a plea of guilty. The issue was whether he had competently waived counsel. There was proof that Frame had (previously) been adjudged insane in the county court of Prowers County, Colorado, and committed to the Colorado State Hospital, and there was no countervailing proof to overcome the presumption arising from such adjudication.””
