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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Due process requires that the trial court make a record similar to that required by Boykin v. Alabama, supra, [ 395 U.S. 238 , 89 S.Ct. 1709 , 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969)] to determine if the decision to submit the case on the preliminary hearing transcript was freely, intelligently, and voluntarily made. “The trial court must determine, and the record must reflect, that the defendant understood the significance and consequences of submitting the case on the basis of the preliminary hearing transcript. It must affirmatively appear in the record that the defendant knew that he was giving up the right to trial by jury, to testify in his own behalf, to call any witnesses, or to offer any further evidence. The record must reflect that the defendant understood that the whole issue of his guilt or innocence of the offense charged was to be made upon the preliminary hearing transcript.” State v. Crowley, 111 Ariz. 308, 311 , 528 P.2d 834, 837 (1974).”
