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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When the post-conviction relief judge has affirmatively found that the right to a direct appeal was not knowingly and intelligently waived, the applicant may petition for a writ of certiorari pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 50, § 9 . . . Even where the post-conviction relief judge makes this finding, he may not grant relief on this basis. Instead, the applicant must petition this Court for a White v. State review.”
