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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A plea bargain is a contract. A meeting of the minds of the parties is a prerequisite to the existence of an enforceable contract. Where it appears the parties are continuing to negotiate as to essential terms of an agreement, there can be no meeting of the minds. Central Properties, Inc. v. Robbinson, 450 So.2d 277 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984), quashed in part on other grounds, 468 So.2d 986 (Fla.1985). When it appears any party is mistaken, confused or misunderstands such essential terms there can be no meeting of the minds. See Scott v. State, 499 So.2d 29 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986).”
