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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A plea of guilty, otherwise voluntary and intelligently entered, is not equivocal merely because the accused claims to have no personal recollection of the crime to which he pleaded guilty . . . defendant’s inability to remember the alleged sales did not render his plea equivocal.””
