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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“if a defendant alleges he was given erroneous advice by his attorney as to his eligibility for trusty earned time and that erroneous advice goes uncorrected, and he provides evidence other than his own statement (such as a .sworn affidavit from a third party), he-is .entitled to an evidentiary hearing.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A guilty plea is binding on a defendant only if it is entered voluntarily and intelligently. A plea is considered voluntary and intelligent only if the defendant is informed of the nature of the charge against him and the consequences of the plea. Before the trial court may accept a guilty plea, the court must determine that the plea-is voluntarily and intelligently made and that there is a factual basis for the plea. As part of its volun-tariness inquiry, the court must determine whether the accused understands the minimum and maximum sentences for the charge.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“When the only support the defendant offers is his own affidavit, and it is contradicted by unimpeachable documents in the record, the supreme court has held that an evidentiary hearing is not required. However, when the movant attaches an affidavit of another who supports the allegation, the trial court may be required-to conduct an evidentiary -hearing. This Court has held that an attack on ' a facially correct plea may survive summary dismissal if supporting affidavits of other persons are attached.”
