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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whether the matter should have been further pursued by counsel after the court’s denial of the oral application for a change of venue and after counsel’s investigation revealed no existing prejudice, was a matter of trial tactics and a matter resting within his conscience. ... In this situation, in which it appears that trial by jury was not contemplated and a plea of guilty was intended, it is difficult to see how or in what manner failure of counsel to obtain a change of venue from the inhabitants of Miller County could possibly have prejudicially affected appellant’s rights. Appellant has failed to show resulting prejudice. . . . There is no claim that the Judge of the Circuit Court of Miller County was prejudiced against him, or that he could not obtain a fair hearing of his plea of guilty in that county; no proof of prejudice resulting from the failure of counsel to obtain a change of venue.””
