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.
“[1] whether the defendant has asserted legal innocence, [2] the strength of the State’s proffer of evidence, [3] the length of time between entry of the guilty plea and the desire to change it, [4] and whether the accused has had competent counsel at all relevant times. [5] Misunderstanding of the consequences of a guilty plea, [6] hasty entry, [7] confusion, and [8] coercion are also factors for consideration.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“Although there is no absolute right to withdraw a guilty plea, withdrawal motions made prior to sentencing, and especially at a very early stage of the proceedings, should be granted with liberality.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“After a defendant has come forward with a 'fair and just reason' in support of his motion to withdraw, the State 'may refute the movant's showing by evidence of a concrete prejudice to its case by reason of the withdrawal of the plea.'”
