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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that when the term of court has expired in which a defendant was sentenced pursuant to a guilty plea the trial court lacks jurisdiction to allow the withdrawal of the plea.” Henry v. State, 269 Ga. 851, 853 (2) ( 507 SE2d 419 ) (1998). [Martin] was sentenced on [November 12, 2001]; his motion to withdraw was filed on [September 19, 2002], after [several] terms of court had passed. See OCGA§ 15-6-3 [(13) (B)]. The only means available to [Martin] to withdraw his guilty plea is through habeas corpus proceedings. Downs v. State, 270 Ga. 310 ( 509 SE2d 40 ) (1998); Henry, supra.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Because [Reese’s] motion to withdraw the plea was brought against the State in the county of conviction, rather than against the warden in the county in which he is incarcerated, it cannot be treated as a habeas corpus petition. See OCGA § 9-14-43; Worle v. State, 227 Ga. App. 575 ( 489 SE2d 374 ) (1997); Jarrett v. State, 217 Ga. App. 627 ( 458 SE2d 414 ) (1995). Nor can it be characterized as an extraordinary motion for new trial. One who has entered a plea of guilty cannot move for a new trial, as there was no trial. Downs v. State, 270 Ga. 310 ( 509 SE2d 40 ) (1998)].”
