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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he trial court shall allow a defendant to withdraw his plea of guilty whenever it appears that withdrawal is (1) necessary to correct a (2) manifest injustice, i.e., an injustice that is obvious, directly observable, overt, not obscure. . . . this imposes upon the defendant a demanding standard.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The comprehensive protective requirements of CrR 4.2(d), (e) and (g) present a striking contrast to the less strict procedures formerly associated with RCW 10.40.175 and its connected cases. Greater safeguards have been thrown around a defendant at the critical time of accepting his plea of guilty. Every effort has been made to ascertain that the plea of guilty is made voluntarily, with understanding and with reasonable knowledge of the important consequences. That being the case, trial courts should exercise greater caution in setting aside a guilty plea once the required safeguards have been employed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“(b) After entry of a plea of guilty but before imposition of sentence, upon motion of the defendant, the court may allow the defendant to withdraw his plea of guilty for any fair and just reason unless the state has been substantially prejudiced by reliance on the defendant's plea. (c) After judgment and sentence upon a plea of guilty, the convicted person may not as a matter of right withdraw the plea. However, ... the court shall vacate the judgment and allow the withdrawal whenever the convicted person proves that with drawal is necessary to correct manifest injustice.”
