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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a defendant appears in court represented by competent, .retained counsel the trial judge may reasonably assume that the rights of the defendant will be protected. The trial judge is not obliged to inquire into the continuing status of their relationship. At the very least petitioner should have made some effort to communicate to the trial judge the information that he wished to appeal but was unable to hire an attorney to assist him. In the words of McIntosh v. Commonwealth, 368 S.W.2d 331 (Kentucky 1963), ‘It was not incumbent on the trial court to wait on him at the county jail lest some need arise that might not otherwise be called to its attention’.””
