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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It should be remembered that the Sixth Amendment makes no differentiation between misdemeanors and felonies. The right to counsel is not contingent upon the length of the sentence or the gravity of the punishment. Rather, it provides that the guarantee extends to ‘all criminal prosecutions.’ Furthermore, we note that the phrase ‘all criminal prosecutions’ applies not only to the right to counsel but also to the right to a jury trial. Logically the phrase should be accorded the same meaning as applied to both protections. Thus we believe significant the Supreme Court’s pronouncements in cases involving the jury trial guarantee.” (Emphasis added)”

Beck, 385 U.S. 907 , 87 S.Ct. 207 [ 17 L.Ed.2d 137 ] (1966) and DeJoseph v. Connecticut, 385 U.S. 982 , 87 S.Ct. 526 , 17 L.Ed.2d 443 (1966). In those opinions the Justices call for the Court to clarify its holding in Gideon.””
