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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““On two recent occasions our Supreme Court has reiterated the rule that there is a presumption that counsel appointed or accepted by the court to represent a defendant is competent. This presumption can be overcome only if it can be shown that what the attorney did, or did not do, made the proceedings a mockery and shocking to the conscience of the court . . . [cases cited omitted] For recent cases in this court to the same effect see Poindexter v. State, [154] Ind. App. [534], 290 N.E.2d 512 , (1972) ; and Lenwell v. State, [156] Ind. App. [41], 294 N.E.2d 643 (1973). These rules have been explicitly reaffirmed by our Supreme Court within this month in Haddock v. State, 260 Ind. 593 , 298 N.E.2d 418 (1973).””
