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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The facts of the present case are almost indistinguishable from those of Fairbanks . There, Fairbanks’ attorney merely asserted that his client understood what a jury trial was, that he had an absolute right to have a jury trial, and that he wished to waive that right and be tried by the court. When asked whether that recital was correct, Fairbanks replied in the affirmative. On those facts we held that there had been compliance with Rule 735. Consistency with our decision in Fairbanks, supra, dictates that we reject appellant’s argument on this issue.””

Mr. Levin: You have to speak up so — The Defendant: I understand. Mr. Levin: Do you understand what the jury trial is? The Defendant: I understand.””
