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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“What a criminal defendant wants or does not want is not relevant to counsel’s duty to inform the defendant of the law applicable to the defendant’s case, so that the defendant can evaluate a plea offer. See Hill, 474 U.S. at 62 , 106 S.Ct. 366 , 88 L.Ed.2d 203 (White, J., concurring) (recognizing counsel’s duty to inform a criminal defendant of relevant law). Nor are there any “ ‘distorting effects of hindsight,’” see Report and Recommendation at p. 20 (quoting Strickland, 466 U.S. at 689 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 , 80 L.Ed.2d 674 ), in the evaluation of trial counsel’s performance resulting from the outcome of [the defendant’s] prosecution that apply to the deficiency [the defendant] has actually alleged, because the duty to provide advice concerning applicable law is independent of any outcome.”
