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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “We do not believe Boykin establishes such a rigid rule. . . . While there is language in the majority opinion which indicates the judge has a duty to ascertain if the accused understands the nature of the plea and its consequences, it is nowhere stated that he has a duty to specifically inform the accused of the rights being waived and the consequences of the plea.”

  2. “it did affirmatively appear that his counsel had discussed the case with White at length and that he had been advised of his constitutional rights. In this context we must infer White’s counsel performed his fundamental and elementary duty of advising him of the maximum penalty which lawfully could be imposed.”
