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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is true that defendant was not questioned specifically concerning his right to confront his accusers at trial. However, since the record shows that defendant had full opportunity to consult with counsel before entering his plea, we may safely presume that counsel informed him adequately concerning this right. * * * Further, and we believe significantly, the record includes a copy of the petition to enter a plea of guilty which defendant had signed and which he admitted reading and understanding. That petition informed defendant of a number of his constitutional rights, including “the right to see and hear all witnesses against me.” On such a record we believe it proper to conclude that defendant entered his’ plea voluntarily and intelligently.”
