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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There can be little doubt that Davis’ defense counsel encountered a serious conflict of interest in attempting to represent both defendants. And it is equally clear that, instead of seeking to withdraw as counsel, he forged ahead and actively represented the competing interests of his clients which actually affected the adequacy of his representation of Davis. We can hardly imagine a more obvious example of the sacrifice of the interest of one client for the enhancement of the interests of the other.”
