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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“received sufficient information and guidance from the trial court to make a knowing and intelligent waiver”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[It is not] required that the trial court probe the defendant's case and advise the defendant as to legal strategies to ensure that a waiver is intelligently made. Indeed, the defendant's technical legal knowledge is irrelevant to the question of whether he validly waives his right to be represented by counsel. The test is not whether the accused is capable of good lawyering[,] but whether he knowingly and intelligently waives his right to counsel.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The trial court's ruling as to whether the defendant's waiver of the right to counsel was valid is reviewed for abuse of discretion.”
