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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Due process mandates that [the defendant is] entitled to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding and therefore be accorded a fair trial — not a perfect trial. Although [the defendant’s] cognitive deficits may have placed additional responsibility on his counsel to ensure [the defendant’s] understanding of the process, it certainly does not establish that he was incompetent to stand trial.”
