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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]f the trial court does not make a threshold finding that a reasonable ground [to question a defendant’s competency] exists ... then the Rule 9.06 requirement to order ... a competency-hearing never arises. In other words, if a trial judge orders a psychiatric evaluation without a reasonable question as to the defendant’s competency, he is not also required [to] order a competency hearing.”
