More on how this was screened

Nearby “abrogated” language described that condition rather than treatment of O'Hara, while the other treatment phrases concerned unrelated case histories. The final flagged opinion did not mention O'Hara.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

636 later cases cite William J. O'Hara III v. John T. Wigginton Wayne Dunn Al C. Parke and Fred Cowan; 498 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
