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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have reviewed the record made on November 11, 1969, 1 and believe it is sufficient to show the pleas were ‘made voluntarily with understanding of the nature of * * * [each] charge’ (V.A.M.R. 25.04); that the evidentiary hearing, held April 8, 1971, was not required by V.A. M.R. 27.26(e) because said record of November 11,1969, conclusively shows that appellant is entitled to no relief; and that the record of November 11,1969, is sufficient to insulate the convictions from subsequent attack in federal habeas corpus proceedings. (Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 , 89 S.Ct. 1709 , 23 L.Ed.2d 274 .)””
