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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The cited cases distinguish between an examination of a defendant solely to ascertain his mental and physical condition as opposed to diagnosis and treatment. Only in the former situation is the privilege unavailable, in the latter situation the defendant still can invoke the privilege. “This significant distinction is noted in the general rule as stated in Wharton’s Criminal Evidence, Twelfth Ed., vol. 3, section 818, page 171, as follows: ‘The privilege does not arise where an examination of a person is made to determine the existence of a fact or condition, as distinguished from giving him medical treatment. Thus, the privilege does not arise, and a physician may testify as to the result of an examination made for the sole purpose of seeing whether the condition of the patient indicated the commission of the crime, or whether the defendant was sane....’” Koonce v. State, supra, 456 P.2d [549] at 562.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. More · State v. Cole““A common test to determine whether a ruling on the admission of evidence was prejudicial is whether, upon a review of the record, it sufficiently appears the rights of the complaining party have been injuriously affected by the error or he has suffered a miscarriage of justice.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he receipt of opinion evidence, whether lay or expert, rests largely in the trial court’s discretion and we are loathe to interfere with the exercise thereof unless it has been manifestly abused to the prejudice of the complaining party.”
