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.

“"[A] judge is never bound in sentencing by the negotiations which occur between the prosecuting attorney and the defense counsel... . It is our view that, even if the trial judge's indication of leniency is the only inducement a defendant has in pleading guilty, the court is not bound by it." At 29.”
11 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Warner · State v. Warner“[T]he trial judge admits that he bargained with the petitioner and reached an agreement whereby the petitioner was to plead guilty to the breaking and entering charge in exchange for a particular sentence by the judge.... Courts cannot bind themselves to agreements such as that shown by this record. To countenance such would require too high a price for administrative efficiency. The judge is an instrument of the law charged with meting out just punishment to convicted men. Just punishment is that which fits the circumstances of the crime and the particular criminal; therefore, expediency has no place in formulating the judge's act.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“that the Court will place you on probation and the Court will withhold adjudication and that a condition of the probation will be some time in the Orange County Jail; that it will be a minimum period of at least four months and a maximum of one year. And, that eight-month period depends on what the pre-sentence investigation reveals.”
