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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]lthough a defendant may plead guilty to a crime without distinguishing whether he was a principal or an accessory, once he has chosen to plead guilty as an accessory and the court has accepted that choice by accepting that plea, he can be found guilty of only that crime and is entitled to a judgment, sentence and mittimus that reflects that crime. His decision to plead as an accessory has to be influenced by his belief that he will be found guilty as an accessory. ... Due process requires that the defendant know the specific charge to which he is pleading. A jury may be polled as to the basis of its verdict to determine whether the defendant was convicted as a principal or an accessory. ... If this is so, a defendant must be able to plead as an accessory or a principal.”
