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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is evident from the foregoing that the crucial test of the trial court’s action in accepting a plea of guilty is whether the defendant entered his plea of guilty ‘freely and understanding^.’ If the acts which constitute the alleged offense are such that the defendant can readily understand whether he has committed them, and if he understands that his plea of guilty amounts- to an acknowledgment that he has committed the acts in question, and if he also understands the legal consequences of this acknowledgment, a trial court should accept a plea of guilty.””
