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

  1. “... the Court observed that the purpose of the punishment admonishment was “to avoid a situation where an accused thought his possible punishment could be a certain number of years and then (after he had entered his plea of guilty) learn that he had been assessed a greater punishment.” That observation is still sound today ... We do not consider the issue of harm under the circumstances because we conclude that on the facts of this case the admonishment did not constitute substantial compliance.”
