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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Tjhere is no constitutional requirement that counsel must always inform a defendant who pleads guilty of the right to pursue a direct appeal unless the defendant inquires about a direct appeal or there exists a direct appeal claim that has a reasonable likelihood of success. The burden is on the defendant to indicate to his attorney that he wishes to pursue an appeal. Appellant failed to demonstrate that he inquired about a direct appeal or had a direct appeal claim that had a reasonable likelihood of success.”
