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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order for a guilty plea to be voluntary, a defendant must be informed of the intent elements requisite to the charged offense. Henderson v. Morgan, 426 U.S. 637 , 96 S.C. 2253 , 49 L.Ed.2d 108 (1976); State v. Bradley, 98 Idaho 918 , 575 P.2d 1306 (1978). In State v. Bradley, supra, we held that this requirement was satisfied where the information containing a reference to the necessary element of intent was read to the defendant, and there was no showing that the defendant was not conversant with the English language or that he lacked normal intelligence and education.”
