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

1. “where a defendant while represented by counsel pleads guilty to an offense and is sentenced, the judgment of conviction cannot be collaterally attacked on the ground that the indictment fails to state one or more essential elements of the offense.”

2. ““* * * However, the Gimprits case involved a direct appeal from the judgment of conviction and not a collateral attack on such a judgment. Hence, it would have been sufficient to use the word ‘voidable7 instead of ‘void’ in that paragraph of the syllabus. Also, no question with respect to a collateral attack was involved in the case, so that any statement with respect thereto may be disregarded. This was pointed out in the opinion in State v. Wozniak (1961), 172 Ohio St. 517 , 522, 178 N. E. 2d 800 .””

3. “although the time for an appeal `as a matter of right' has expired, Section 2953.05 , Revised Code, does provide for an appeal `by leave.'”
