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 73 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Here, the jury considered the medical evidence along with the lay testimony and the remainder of the evidence, and decided that the defendant had failed to prove by the necessary preponderance that he was insane or even intoxicated at the time of the offense. After viewing the record, we cannot say that the jury was wrong. A rational, objective fact-finder could well have concluded that the medical testimony, while scholarly, was largely based on defendant's self-serving revelations, and that it did not support the defendant's insanity plea. None of the testifying physicians had actually treated the defendant for any mental, emotional, or physical ailment. They were consulted only for the purpose of appearing as expert medical witnesses. Parker at 551 .”
