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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In a more recent case, this court explained: The record here shows that the trial court did not look into the voluntariness and intelligence of the defendant's waiver of counsel, or warn the defendant of the dangers and disadvantages of selfrepresentation. The record indicates that, because counsel had been appointed to assist the defendant prior to his request to represent himself with assistance, the trial court thought that the defendant had waived his right to counsel. However, the defendant informed the trial court that he had not meant to waive his right to counsel and that he only wanted to be involved in his defense. Therefore, we must determine whether the defendant actually waived his right to counsel and, if a waiver occurred, whether the waiver was adequate.”
