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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[B]y pursuing [an insanity defense], an accused necessarily ha[s] already made the 'significant decision' regarding the psychiatric evaluation, and cannot now complain that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel prior to the examination because he was unable to consult with his attorney as to whether to submit to a psychiatric examination.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Barber v. State · Rivera v. Collins“The district court in denying habeas corpus in this case determined that the ex parte procedure followed here violated state procedures, but was not in violation of constitutional due process. A state court's failure to follow its own procedural rules does not of itself raise a federal constitutional question cognizable in habeas corpus.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Crowe v. Smith“no constitutional right to have his attorney present during the psychiatric examination.”
