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.

“This Court reviews "the record of a death penalty case to determine whether the evidence is sufficient to support the murder conviction." Winkles v. State , 894 So.2d 842 , 847 (Fla. 2005) ; see also Davis v. State , 859 So.2d 465 , 480 (Fla. 2003). However, where the death penalty is imposed after a defendant has [pleaded] guilty to a first-degree murder charge, "this Court's [mandatory] review shifts to the knowing, intelligent, and voluntary nature of that plea." Barnes v. State , 29 So.3d 1010 , 1020 (Fla. 2010), cert. denied, [562] U.S. [901], 131 S.Ct. 234 , 178 L.Ed.2d 155 (2010) (quoting Tanzi v. State , 964 So.2d 106 , 121 (Fla. 2007) ). This Court "scrutinize[s] the plea to ensure that the defendant was made aware of the consequences of his plea, was apprised of the constitutional rights he was waiving, and [pleaded] guilty voluntarily." Winkles , 894 So.2d at 847 (quoting Ocha v. State , 826 So.2d 956 , 965 (Fla. 2002) ).”
