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.
“.“The granting and denying of permission to withdraw a plea of guilty and substitute a plea of not guilty is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court and its action will be upheld unless an abuse of such discretion clearly appears from the record.” See also: Green v. State, Okl.Cr., 327 P.2d 704 ; Cullins v. State, Okl.Cr., 325 P.2d 446 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Harvey v. State · Sandlin v. State““In order to sustain the contention of an accused that a trial court has abused its discretion in refusing to allow a plea of guilty to be withdrawn and a plea of not guilty substituted therefor, it must be apparent from the record that the plea has been made unadvisedly, through ignorance, inadvertence, influence, or without deliberation; and that there is a defense that should be presented to a jury.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Gilmore v. State · Mack v. State““The law favors the trial of criminal cases on the merits, but this does not mean that the trial court should allow a defendant to withdraw a plea of guilty where there is no showing that the plea was entered through inadvertence, ignorance, or without deliberation'but it is apparent that the application to withdraw the plea of guilty is for the purpose of delay and to defeat the ends of justice.””
