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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If a “ ‘substantial question of possible doubt . . .’” is raised, an “inquiry into the defendant’s competency . . .” must be made. . . . We hold that a request for a competency hearing by defense counsel should be granted unless it clearly appears that the request is frivolous and not made in good faith.”
