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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although this Court has not, until now, had a case so close in point to Barnes , we have, as noted, quoted and cited Barnes with approval on several occasions. In Atkinson v. State, 331 Md. 199, 203 , 627 A.2d 1019 (1993), we made clear that, although the procedure of having all of the evidence presented through stipulation may be appropriate “when the parties sought to argue solely legal issues at trial,” it “should not be used when there are significant witness credibility questions.” We add now, not just that the process “should not be used” when there are material disputes of fact that hinge on credibility determinations, but that it may not be used in that circumstance. The Barnes [C]ourt was correct in its observation that, where (1) material evidence is in conflict, (2) resolution of that conflict depends on a determination of the credibility of the witnesses through whom the conflicting evidence is presented, and (3) there are no factors apparent in the record that would enable a finder of fact reliably to judge the credibility of the witnesses, any determination made by the trier of fact is necessarily arbitrary and cannot stand.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We will deem a confession to be involuntary, and therefore inadmissible, if 1) a police officer or an agent of the police force promises or implies to a suspect that he or she will be given special consideration from a prosecuting authority or some other form of assistance in exchange for the suspect’s confession, and 2) the suspect makes a confession in apparent reliance on the police officer’s statement.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“simply appl[y] the law to the facts agreed upon[.]”
