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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A defendant may mount a challenge to the plea with the trial court during the time the case remains within that court’s jurisdiction, and may thereafter seek to challenge the plea in the appellate courts.
