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.
““The general rule in Indiana . . . that a motion to withdraw a plea of guilty is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court. See Thacker v. State (1970), 254 Ind. 665 , 262 N.E.2d 189 ; Hathaway v. State (1968), 251 Ind. 374 , 241 N.E.2d 240 ; Mahoney v. State (1925), 197 Ind. 335 , 149 N.E. 444 . A trial court’s ruling disallowing the withdrawal of a plea will not be disturbed on appeal unless it can be established that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. Hathaway v. State, supra; Polomskey v. State (1943), 221 Ind. 6 , 46 N.E.2d 201 . Furthermore, this Court, on appeal, will indulge a presumption in favor of the trial court’s ruling. Thacker v. State, supra; Lamick v. State (1925), 196 Ind. 71 , 147 N.E. 139 .” ( 280 N.E.2d at 817 .)”
