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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The gravamen of the offense is the breaking and entering of the dwelling of another. To be convicted of statutory breaking and entering, as is evident from the legislative intent of the bill, no intent to commit a felony or to steal personal property need be shown____ The misdemeanor crime of statutory breaking and entering, therefore, is a nebulous one as it relates to the intent of the perpetrator, since no showing of any particular intent is required for a conviction under art. 27, § 31A. All that must be shown is that the perpetrator broke and entered a dwelling place of another.””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“In 1973, the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee received testimony from the State’s Attorneys of various counties and Baltimore City that there was a need for a burglary offense of less severity than common law burglary or any of the then applicable statutory burglary-type crimes. The existence of such an offense, it was argued, would facilitate prosecutors in the handling of cases in which the felonious intent, a required element of common law burglary and all of the then statutory burglary offenses, of the intruder could not be clearly shown. Senate Bill 218 was drafted and submitted to the 1973 General Session with the intent of creating a criminal offense to comply with the State’s Attorneys’ wishes.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Under Maryland law, a witness may be impeached by cross-examination to show that the witness previously made a statement ... in a way inconsistent with his ... testimony relevant to the case. The statement ... must contradict the trial testimony either expressly or by omission. The contradiction or inconsistency must be significant. The inference then may be made that the witness could not have been correct both times and may be wrong at trial either because of faulty memory or deliberate prevarication.”
