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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Although it was said in Price v. State, supra, at p. 33, that 'flight, though not conclusive, is usually evidence of guilt’ — see also Tasco v. State, 223 Md. 503 , 165 A. 2d 456 (1960) and Clay v. State, 211 Md. 577 , 128 A. 2d 634 (1957) — there must exist other apparent circumstances upon which to base a reasonable assumption of guilt which was lacking here. In addition to this, in the cases last cited, the defendants literally ran from the police or scene of the crime, while in the present case the defendant just walked away rapidly.””
