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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In view of the signed waiver and the colloquy with the court, the assertion that we are presented with a “silent record” cannot stand. The record is silent only to the extent that it fails to contain any suggestion that appellant’s waiver was anything but voluntarily and intelligently entered. Appellant has never argued, or even intimated, that he was incompetent to execute a waiver, that his decision was induced by coercion or promises, . or that he did not appreciate the gravity of the offense charged .”
