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.
““The defendant raised the question concerning the propriety of a qualified medical expert who examines a defendant under Rule 250, Rules of Criminal Procedure, 17 A.R.S., to testify as to the sanity of a defendant at the time of the commission of the crime in question. It is not to be assumed that a mental examination under Rule 250 is as thorough as a mental examination to determine sanity at the time of the commission of the offense. (citation omitted) However, it is our opinion that if there can be established a foundation upon which the medical expert is able to base an opinion as to a defendant’s sanity at the time of the commission of the offense that he would be qualified to testify, the limited type examination going merely to the weight of the testimony.” State v. Sexton, 4 Ariz.App. 41, 43, 417 P.2d 554, 556 (1966).”
