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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`The trial court is in a far better position than the reviewing court to determine a defendant's competency to stand trial.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The appellant contends that the state’s evidence is insufficient because, he says, Sample did not actually see the weapon used by the appellant, and because a knife or other weapon was never recovered. Nevertheless, the testimony of Sample, Smith, and Watkins constituted legal evidence from which the jury could have concluded that the appellant was armed with a deadly weapon during the course of the robbery. Furthermore, the appellant’s threat to cut Sample’s throat was prima facie evidence that the appellant had the present ability to carry out his threat. § 13A-8-41(b).””
