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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t would be blatantly unfair to subject a defendant’s post-conviction application to summary dismissal for failure to pro vide evidentiary support not available in the record of prior proceedings, when the statute explicitly provides such evi-dentiary support is “unnecessary” in the original application. The defendant is not required to provide evidentiary support for such allegations until he has been given notice he is being put on his proof.”
