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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Other jurisdictions hold that the sound exercise of the trial court’s discretion should result in a bifurcated trial only when “a defendant shows that he has a substantial insanity defense and a substantial defense on the merits to any element of the charge, either of which would be prejudiced by simultaneous presentation with the other.” Contee v. United States, 410 F. 2d 249 (D. C. Cir. 1969).”
