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 132 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[W]e believe that his ineffective assistance claim should be resolved, not in piecemeal fashion, but as a totality after an evidentiary hearing in the trial court where the attorney whose conduct is in question may have an opportunity to testify.” * * * Although the defendant claims otherwise, our policy is supported by the circumstances of this case. An evidentiary hearing where the defendant’s trial counsel can testify, for example, as to why no objections were made concerning the alleged prison clothes or why he did not move to strike the allegedly prejudicial answers from the state’s rebuttal witness, as well as other claims the defendant makes, is necessary to evaluate the defendant’s ineffective assistance claim. We decline to entertain that claim in this appeal.”
