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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The application alleges that Lat-imer’s attorney mishandled his case. This is a frequent contention of unsuccessful defendants. There are no allegations showing the attorney’s conduct was so incompetent that it made the case a farce requiring .the court to intervene in his client’s behalf. We find no denial of the efficient representation of the Constitution.” ¡”
