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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a nonjury trial, the judge determines the weight of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses, Sutton v. State, 2 Md. App. 639 , 236 A. 2d 301 ; Sadler v. State, 1 Md. App. 383 , 230 A. 2d 372 . Indentification by the victim is enough to convict. Davis v. State, 2 Md. App. 630 , 236 A. 2d 307 , but if there is a lack of positiveness in the identification, this only goes to the weight not the admissibility of the evidence, Logan v. State, 1 Md. App. 213, 216 , 228 A. 2d 837 , and ‘the weight that should be given the testimony was for the trial court’ to decide, Dortch v. State, 1 Md. App. 173, 177 , 229 A. 2d 148 . The evidence as to the identification was sufficient to support the verdict. . . .” Gibson v. State, 4 Md. App. 222 , 242 A. 2d 204 at 206 .”
