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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) Does a criminal conviction based upon the defendant being twice put in jeopardy for the same offense in violation of article I, section 9 of the constitution of the State of Florida, constitute a fundamental error in the trial proceedings? (2) If so, (a) Is the fundamental error per se harmful and reversible without a specific showing of prejudice? (b) To be effective, must a waiver of the constitutional right, or of the fundamental error resulting from its violation, be made knowingly, intentionally and intelligently and not merely implied from silence or inaction of the defendant or his counsel? (c) Is the fundamental error subject to correction when raised for the first time on direct appeal, in post-conviction proceedings (Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850), notwithstanding contemporaneous objection rules and harmless error statutes?”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The trial court’s acceptance of a nolo contendere plea is a matter wholly within the trial court’s discretion, but when that discretion is exercised by a formal pronouncement that the plea is accepted, it is binding on the State and on the defendant, who is thereby placed in jeopardy as if he had pled guilty.... In Florida, an acceptance of a plea has legal significance, and once jeopardy has attached a court may not set aside a nolo contendere plea previously accepted without legal cause.”
