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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The probative fact is not whether [the defendant] denied or admitted committing the offense for which he was convicted, but whether he committed the offense at all.... That [the defendant] pled guilty to the prior offenses, of course, does not change the fact that he was found guilty of committing those offenses. Moreover, a guilty plea is often as much a result of an accused’s realistic assessment of his chances to be acquitted should he go to trial as it is a result of any altruistic motive to “come clean.””
