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 100 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As a matter of expediency and circumspection, state judges may choose to engage in the colloquy mandated for their federal colleagues by Rule 11, but there is nothing in Boykin that requires them to do so. The exhortation to state judges to exercise the utmost solicitude ‘in canvassing the matter with the accused to make sure he has a full understanding of what the plea connotes and of its consequences’ is silent as to the method of discharging that function. If the record affirmatively shows that the plea was intelligently and voluntarily entered, that is enough.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““This court is, . . . aware of no precedent from the Supreme Court, or elsewhere,. for the proposition that due process requires that the defendant be informed of each and every right which is waived by a guilty plea or that the waiver of these rights is a ‘consequence’, within the'meaning of Rule 11, of which a defendant must be personally informed before a guilty plea may be accepted. “We do not read Rule 11 as requiring this; nor do we feel that due process requires this.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Conner · Franks v. State“. . . we reject the contention that under either the Constitution or Rule 11, if applicable to the states, and we think it is not, Wade was entitled to specific monition as to the several constitutional rights waived by entry of the plea.”
