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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We hold that a charge that a bargain had been made between the defendant’s attorney and the Assistant United States Attorney — a charge that was never asserted at the time of the hearing before Judge Clancy nor apparently for over a year thereafter' — which was neither verified nor supported in any way by the arguments submitted * * * was insufficient to require Judge Medina to grant the defendant’s motion. We think the charge was evidently a mere afterthought. Had it any substance, the defendant would have protested at his sentence when it was imposed, and then and there have sought to withdraw his plea and to go on trial on the merits.””
