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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]here timely appearance for sentencing is made a condition of a plea agreement, a non-willful failure to appear will not vitiate the agreement and permit the trial court to impose some greater sentence.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“If a defendant’s failure to appear is beyond his control, only in the most merciless and draconian system of justice could such failure result in a forfeiture of the bargained-for sentence. Thus, where a defendant’s failure to appear is found to be non-willful, the defendant is entitled to the bargained-for mitigation of his or her sentence.”
