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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““First, the court [can] inquire directly of the defendant concerning the performance of the acts which constituted the crime. Secondly, the court [can] allow the defendant to describe to the court in his own words what had occurred and then the court could question the defendant. Thirdly, the court [can] have the prosecutor make an offer of proof concerning the factual basis for the charge.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Bates · Kooser v. State“Obtaining a factual basis for the plea serves important purposes. First, it assures that a defendant who seeks to plead guilty is in fact guilty. Persons whose conduct does not fall within the charges brought by a prosecutor should not plead guilty, but unless a factual basis is required, the risk of innocent persons being adjudicated guilty is enhanced. In addition, the finding of a factual basis, when made a matter of record, eliminates post-conviction factfinding proceedings aimed at determining the accuracy of guilty pleas. Finally, the information developed in determining the factual basis is often useful to the court at sentencing. A.B.A. Standards for Criminal Justice, Receiving and Acting Upon a Plea, Section 14-1.6(a), page 14.34.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Froistad v. State“The standard for a plea withdrawal differs depending upon when the motion to withdraw the guilty plea is made.... When a court has accepted a plea and imposed sentence, the defendant cannot withdraw the plea unless withdrawal is necessary to correct a manifest injustice. The decision whether a manifest injustice exists for withdrawal of a guilty plea lies within the trial court’s discretion and will not be reversed on appeal except for an abuse of discretion. An abuse of discretion under N.D.R.Crim.P. [11(d) ] occurs when the court’s legal discretion is not exercised in the interest of justice. 2”
