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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[u]nder Md.Code, Art 22, § 6, a medical officer, the police officers and the State’s Attorney are charged with the investigation of any death that is suspicious or unusual whether or not a crime has been committed. Appellant’s actions in substituting the knife and giving false reports to the police department would have obstructed justice whether or not suicide is a crime in Maryland or whether or not the wife committed suicide in the instant case. See Md. Code, Art. 27, § [26].”
