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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the facts giving rise to such a claim are apparent on the face of the record,”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“I ... write separately only to caution litigants that we will not ordinarily consider a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal.... Such claims ordinarily turn on issues of fact and both sides are entitled to present relevant evidence to the trial court to resolve those issues. It is only because of the gross and patent showing of ineffectiveness virtually conceded by the state on this record that we are taking the highly unusual step of intervening at this stage of the proceedings.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. Kidd v. State · Henley v. State“(1) defense counsel's representation was deficient in that it fell below an objective standard of reasonableness and (2) there was prejudice in that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the results of the proceeding would have been different.”
