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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We do not think that [the Commonwealth’s expert witness’] testimony can be relied upon to prove appellant’s competency at the time of his admissions. [The expert’s] examination took place more than two months after appellant made the last of his statements, and [the expert] admitted that he could only speculate as to appellant’s mental condition at earlier times.””
