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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While defendant's claim of voluntary drug use raises the possibility of a defense of lack of specific intent (intoxication) as to the attempted second degree murder charges, he waived such an affirmative defense by pleading guilty. Further, the assertion by his attorney that defendant was under the influence of an intoxicating substance at the time of the offense does not negate his admission of guilt or create grounds by which to attack the sufficiency of the evidence. Regardless, the record evinces that defendant's guilty plea was validly entered. Therefore, he is precluded from raising on appeal any issue regarding whether there was sufficient evidence for his conviction.”
