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.
“Even if there are insufficient funds to pay for the appeal transcript, an attorney cannot abandon the convicted defendant solely because there is no money for an appeal. An attorney, knowing the convicted defendant desires to appeal, is obliged under Ark. R. App. P.-Crim. 16, regardless of the defendant’s financial circumstances, to file the notice of appeal and then file a partial record, consisting of at least the judgment and notice of appeal, in the appellate court with a motion to be relieved containing a statement of the reason for the request to withdraw.”
