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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial court confirmed on the record the details of his plea bargain with the [Sjtate regarding sentence, delved into the factual bases of the pleas, spoke with the defendant extensively regarding his understanding of the sentencing consequences carried by the charged crimes, impressed upon him that his guilty pleas would resolve all matters with the [Sjtate except for sentencing, and informed him that if he persisted in pleading guilty, he would not be coming back to court for a trial in which he could, select a jury, challenge the [Sjtate’s witnesses by confronting them before the fact finder, and present his defense by calling his own witnesses and taking the stand to testify in his own right.”
