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

1. ““The State concedes that at his criminal trial in 1956, the Appellant was neither advised of his right to counsel nor provided with counsel. Under Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335 (1963), there is a constitutional requirement imposed upon the State of representation of a defendant by counsel in a case where the defendant has been charged with burglary. Manning v. State, 237 Md. 349 , 206 A. 2d 563 (1965). Manning also held that Gideon applies retroactively and that a conviction prior to Gideon in which the Defendant was not provided with counsel must be vacated. See also Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U. S. 618 , 14 L. Ed. 2d 601, 614 (1965). Infractions of constitutional rights that may render a criminal conviction a nullity are grounds for relief under the Post Conviction Procedure Act. Simon v. Director, 235 Md. 626 , 201 A. 2d 371 (1964). See Laird v. Director, 237 Md. 178 , 205 A. 2d 238 (1964).” (Italics supplied)”

2. ““Because the Appellant’s criminal conviction was in violation of his constitutional rights and because that conviction was an essential element of the legality of his commitment as a defective delinquent, we hold that his present detention is in violation of law, and that he is entitled to be released.” (from Patuxent Institution)”
