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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “* * * the Court feels that the question of whether a defendant "wants" counsel "fairly implies the availability of the assistance of the court in obtaining counsel if he wished it." Starks v. United States, 264 F.2d 797, 800 (4 Cir.1959). And see Post v. Boles, 332 F.2d 738, 740 (4 Cir.1964). Thus, the Court feels that the State has borne its initial burden of proving Cost's "affirmative acquiescence" in proceeding without counsel.”
