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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To determine whether a guilty plea is valid, the record must show that the defendant understands the plea and the constitutional rights that he is relinquishing. The State has the burden on direct review of establishing that the plea was entered intelligently and voluntarily. The State may meet this burden "by showing on the record of the guilty plea hearing that the defendant was cognizant of all of the rights he was waiving and the possible consequences of his plea, or by use of extrinsic evidence that affirmatively shows that the guilty plea was knowing and voluntary." After sentencing, the decision on a motion to withdraw a guilty plea is within the trial court's discretion and withdrawal of the plea is allowed only when necessary to correct a manifest injustice.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. UPTON v. the STATE.“The only evidence that the plea was not voluntary is [Green’s] testimony at the hearing on his motion to withdraw, which was contradicted by the testimony of trial counsel. . . . Recognizing the conflict in this evidence, the trial court chose to accept the testimony of trial counsel. We conclude that the record shows the trial court correctly found that [Green] was fully advised of his rights and freely and voluntarily waived those rights.”
