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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The constitutional right of an accused to be represented by counsel invokes, of itself, the protection of a trial court, in which the accused — whose life or liberty is at stake— is without counsel. This protecting duty imposes the serious and weighty responsibility upon the trial judge of determining whether there is an intelligent and competent waiver by the accused.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. McLemore“[to] indulge in every reasonable presumption against a waiver ... in no way implies that [the court] should refuse to consider the defendant’s request altogether. Otherwise the constitutional right to defend oneself if he intelligently and competently chooses would be illusory.”
