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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When a defendant’s counsel is of his own choosing or is chosen by members of his family, it is only when it can be said that what was or was not done by the defendant’s attorney for his client made the proceeding a farce or a mockery of justice, shocking to the conscience of the court, that a charge of inadequate legal representation can prevail. Trammell v. State, 276 Ala. 689 , 166 So.2d 417 ; O’Malley v. United States, 6 Cir., 285 F.2d 733 ; Williams v. Beto, 5 Cir., 354 F.2d 698 .””
