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.
“As the testimony of [Palmer’s] counsel makes clear, tactical decisions were made, based upon sound reasoning, that in light of the circumstances of the trial, it was not in [Palmer’s] best interests to testify. Having been so advised, [Palmer] opted not to testify. Hence, [Palmer has] failed to satisfy [his] burden of showing that counsel was deficient.”
