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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. That trial counsel was ineffective for failing to develop or present evidence in mitigation at sentencing; 2. That trial counsel was ineffective for failing to raise a Miranda objection to the introduction of a 1958 conviction at sentencing or to present mitigating evidence in connection with that conviction; 3. That on direct appeal, the Florida Supreme Court improperly disregarded valid mitigating circumstances that supported the jury’s recommendation of life; 4. That on direct appeal the Florida Supreme Court applied an unconstitutional construction of the cold, calculated and premeditated aggravating factor; 5. That the Florida Supreme Court applied the Tedder jury override standard in an arbitrary and discriminatory manner; 6. That on direct appeal he was deprived of an adequate reasoned proportionality review of his death sentence; and 7. That the trial court’s reliance at sentencing upon an aggravating factor that was not supported by the evidence deprived him of due process.”
