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.
““A plea of guilty can be effectively accepted by a court only under the standard applicable to waiver of constitutional rights. To satisfy this standard the record must affirmatively show that the plea of guilty was entered by an accused : (1) voluntarily, that is not through coercion, terror, inducements, or subtle or blatant threats; and (2) with an intelligent understanding, that is not through ignorance or incomprehension : (a) of the nature of the offense to which he is pleading guilty; and (b) of the possible consequences of such a plea; and (3) unconditionally, that is without any condition or qualification.””
