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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) whether the motion was made within a reasonable time; (2) whether the motion set out specific reasons for the withdrawal; (3) whether the accused understood the nature of the charges and the possible penalties; and (4) whether the accused was perhaps not guilty or had a complete defense to the charges.”
12 later decisions quote this exact passage“[although an extensive hearing was not held on McNeil's motion to withdraw his plea, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion. The scope of the hearing to be held on a motion to withdraw a plea should reflect the substantive merit of the motion itself.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[b]old assertions without evidentiary support simply do not merit the type of scrutiny that substantiated allegations would merit.”
