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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where there is a conflict of expert testimony on the issue of sanity, ... it does not necessarily follow that reasonable men must entertain a reasonable doubt as to the accused’s sanity. “A finding of guilty which includes a finding of sanity contrary to expert opinion can be sustained if it is supported by substantial evidence.” United States v. Carey, 11 U.S.C.M.A. 443 , 29 C.M.R. 259 (1960). The opinions of the experts do not necessarily define the scope of responsibility of the court-martial. The members must consider and weigh all of the evidence presented.”
