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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“. Evidence sufficient to prompt a competency hearing or inquiry must raise a ‘‘bona fide doubt” in the mind of the trial judge as to the defendant's competency to stand trial; a bona fide, doubt exists if the evidence indicates recent severe mental illness, or at least moderate mental retardation, or truly bizarre acts by the defendant. ‘”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Ex Parte Potter · Tadlock v. State“If during the trial evidence of the defendant’s incompetency is brought to the attention of the court from any source, the court must conduct a hearing out of the presence of the jury to determine whether or not there is evidence to support a finding of incompetency.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Rice v. State · Alcott v. State“The issue of the defendant’s incompetency to stand trial shall be determined in ad- vanee of the trial on the merits if the court determines there is evidence to support a finding of incompetency to stand trial on its own motion or on written motion by the defendant or his counsel filed prior to the date set for trial on the merits asserting that the defendant is incompetent to stand trial, (emphasis added).”
