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.

  1. “With regard to this issue, the presentation of the appellant’s current counsel has been exhaustive and has left no stone unturned. We have thoroughly and meticulously considered these arguments of counsel. An in-depth recitation would serve no purpose, for in the final analysis they have as a bedrock the hindsight quibbling over trial tactics which are not a sufficient basis to warrant post conviction relief. The actions and decisions of the trial counsel are not to be measured in terms of results.”
