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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Further, while we are not convinced that the last sentence in the opinion, which counsel refer to as ‘the remanding order of the court’, needs clarifying, in deference to their view that it does, the last paragraph of the opinion is amended to read: “ ‘The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded with directions to sot aside the conviction and sentence and to proceed further and not inconsistently herewith, including, if the district judge is of the opinion that the ends of justice require it, permitting the defendant to withdraw his waiver of counsel and his plea of guilty and to stand trial.’ ””
