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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Habeas corpus can be used only to review (1) whether the court had jurisdiction of the crime and the person of the defendant; (2) whether the sentence was authorized by law; and (3) in certain cases, whether an incarcerated defendant has been- deprived of basic constitutional rights.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Krebs v. Weber · Hofer v. Class“`When a convicted defendant complains of the ineffectiveness of counsel's assistance, the defendant must show that counsel's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness.' Strickland, 466 U.S. at 687-88 , 104 S.Ct. at 2064 , 80 L.Ed.2d at 693 . `Judicial scrutiny of counsel's performance must be highly deferential.' Id. at 689 , 104 S.Ct. at 2065 , 80 L.Ed.2d at 694 . `Because of the difficulties inherent in making the evaluation, a court must indulge a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance; that is, the defendant must overcome the presumption that, under the circumstances, the challenged action might be considered sound trial strategy.' Id. at 689 , 104 S.Ct. at 2065 , 80 L.Ed.2d at 694 -95 (citing Michel v. Louisiana, 350 U.S. 91, 101 , 76 S.Ct. 158, 164 , 100 L.Ed. 83, 93 (1955)).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Hofer v. Class · Jones v. Class“Whether a defendant has received ineffective assistance of counsel is essentially a mixed question of law and fact. In the absence of a clearly erroneous determination by the circuit court, we must defer to its findings on such primary facts regarding what defense counsel did or did not do in preparation for trial and in his presentation of the defense at trial. This [C]ourt, however, may substitute its own judgment for that of the circuit court as to whether defense counsel’s actions or inactions constituted ineffective assistance of counsel.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. New v. Weber · Bradley v. Weber
