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. “"Where the offense is simple and the charge is quite specific, even Rule 11 (f), requiring that the judge determine that there is a reasonable basis for the plea, may be satisfied by the reading of the charge. Swensen v. Municipality of Anchorage , 616 P.2d 874 (Alaska 1980). "In order to insure that a guilty plea is made knowingly and intelligently, it is not necessary that the factual basis of the plea be established through the statements of the defendant where there is other information before the trial judge from which he can make this determination. An accused may plead guilty without admitting the acts of the crime if he intelligently concludes that his interest so requires and the record strongly evidences guilt."”

2. “"This is in accordance with the admonition contained in footnote 7 of Boykin v. Alabama , 395 U.S. 238 , 425 , 89 S.Ct. 1709 , 1713 , 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969), that the `trial court is best advised to conduct an on the record examination of the defendant which should include, inter alia, an attempt to satisfy itself that the defendant understands . . . the acts sufficient to constitute the offenses for which he is charged.' "Rule 11 of F.R.C.P. establishes the procedures that federal courts must follow to ensure that a plea of guilty is *Page 43 voluntary. Before a federal judge can enter judgment, Rule 11 (f) requires the judge to determine on the record that a factual basis for the plea exists. Willett v. Georgia , 608 F.2d 538 (5th Cir. 1979). However, Rule 11 procedures are not constitutionally mandated. McCarthy v. United States , 394 U.S. 459 , 89 S.Ct. 1166 , 22 L.Ed.2d 418 (1969). "Although Rule 11 does not apply to state proceedings, due process requires state courts to assure that guilty pleas are made voluntarily and intelligently. Boykin , supra."”

3. “"In a plea of guilty proceedings the judge should undertake a factual inquiry to determine if the plea is voluntarily made with an understanding of the nature of the charge and the consequences of the plea. Further, the judge should be satisfied that there is a factual basis for the plea. See Fed. Rule Crim.Proc. , Rule 11; ABA Standards for Criminal Justice, Standards Relating to Pleas of Guilty , Secs. 1.3-1.8, at 22-36." 294 Ala. at 488 , 318 So.2d 805 (emphasis added).”
