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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In contrast to the Howard case [ 1 Cal.4th 1132 , 5 Cal. Rptr.2d 268 , 824 P.2d 1315 ], it is not possible here to find defendant's admissions of guilt were `voluntary and intelligent under the totality of circumstances.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“`We have no doubt that [the defendant] was in fact aware of his right to . . . confront witnesses and his right to remain silent, all of which he had just exercised in trial. What is impossible to determine from this silent record is whether [the defendant] not only was aware of these rights, but was also prepared to waive them as a condition to admitting his prior offenses.'”
