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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under the new system, a defendant may make an application to the trial court for a determination of competency to stand trial. Title 22 O.S.1981, § 1175.2(A). When an application is made, the trial court must hold an initial hearing to determine whether there is any doubt as to the defendant’s competency. Title 22 O.S.1981, § 1175.3(B). If, after holding the initial hearing, the trial court finds that ‘there is no doubt as to the competency of the person, it shall order the criminal proceedings to resume.’ Title 22 O.S.1981, § 1175.3(C). If, on the other hand, the trial court determines that a doubt exists, it must order a competency examination. Title 22 O.S.1981, § 1175.-3(D). The defendant is then examined by an appropriate expert and the expert must answer a number of specific questions relating to the defendant’s competency. Title 22 O.S.1981, § 1175.3(E). Once the examination has been completed, the statutory system directs that a second ‘hearing on the competency of the person shall be held.’ Title 22 O.S.1981, § 1175.4(A) (emphasis added).”
