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.
“The concept of bifurcated trials arose from the realization that “substantial prejudice may result from the simultaneous trial on the pleas of insanity and not guilty.” Holmes v. United States, 124 U.S.App.D.C. 152 , 363 F.2d 281, 282 (1966). The aim of a bifurcated trial is to mitigate the possibility of such prejudice by separating as much as possible the issue of mental responsibility from the factual elements of the accused’s conduct. See United States v. Taylor, 167 U.S.App.D.C. 62 , 510 F.2d 1283 (1975). The decision of whether to bifurcate rests within the sole discretion of the trial judge, and no abuse of discretion will be found in denying the bifurcation, unless the defendant proffers a “substantial claim” for the necessity thereof. See Harris v. United States, 377 A.2d 34 (D.C.App.1977); Shanahan v. United States, 354 A.2d 524 (D.C.App.1976). [Id. at 926.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is a well established principle of criminal procedure that any search or seizure conducted without a warrant [or exceeding the scope of an authorized search] is “per se unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment — subject only to a few well-delineated exceptions.” One of the judicially recognized exceptions to the warrant requirement is the plain view doctrine. This doctrine, however, will justify a warrantless search only when three requirements are met: the police officer must be lawfully present at the situs of the search and seizure, his discovery of the evidence must be inadvertent, and the items seized must be immediately recognizable as evidence. [Jackson v. United States, D.C.App., 404 A.2d 911, 918 (1979) (citations omitted).]”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Smith v. Whitehead“As was unequivocally said in Miranda , mere silence is not enough [to establish waiver]. That does not mean that the defendant’s silence, coupled with an understanding of his rights and a course of conduct indicating waiver, may never support a conclusion that a defendant has waived his rights. The courts must presume that a defendant did not waive his rights; the prosecution’s burden is great; but in at least some cases waiver can be clearly inferred from the actions and words of the person interrogated. [Id. (footnote omitted).]”
