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 70 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[o]rdinarily ... will not decide any ... issue unless it plainly appears by the record to have been raised in or decided by the trial court....”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]f [the criminal offense charged] is clearly inapplicable to [a defendant’s] conduct, and if the only reason for not reversing his conviction is the failure of appellate counsel to raise the issue in the Court of Special Appeals, under the circumstances of this case [a defendant] would be entitled to relief in an appropriate post conviction proceeding collaterally attacking his conviction. In light of this, fairness and interests of judicial economy justify granting relief on direct appeal.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A person is guilty of a misdemeanor if, knowing the statement to be false, he circulates or transmits to another or others, with intent that it be acted upon, a statement or rumor, written, printed, or by word of mouth, concerning the location or possible detonation of a bomb or other explosive.”
