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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “In our opinion the procedure employed here amounted at most to an irregularity, not requiring that the resulting judgment be set aside. Present when the plea was entered were the judge, the prosecutor, the defendant, defense counsel, and the official court reporter. There is no showing that anyone was excluded from the proceeding, and no objection was made or question raised by the defendant or his counsel about the location. If the purpose of the ‘open court’ provision is the same as the constitutional guarantee of a ‘public trial’ i.e. to eliminate secret proceedings with their potential for tyranny or coercion, that purpose was adequately fulfilled in this case. Morris, supra at 1133-1134 .”
