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.
““ * * * the defendants would not have entered pleas of guilty unless they were laboring under the same mistaken belief and had so been advised by counsel that the trial court would follow the recommendation of the District Attorney. While the trial court was not obliged to follow the recommendation of the District Attorney we are of the opinion that her failure to allow the defendants to withdraw their pleas of guilty prior to the imposition of judgment and sentence when it was apparent that they had been misadvised by counsel, constituted an abuse of discretion and that the judgment and sentence rendered thereafter should be, and the same is hereby vacated.””
