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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the instant case, the terms of the plea agreement were explained to defendant and his counsel. At the hearing when defendant’s guilty plea was accepted, the trial judge carefully listed constitutional rights waived by the guilty plea and clearly articulated the range of sentences. Appellant indicated an understanding. Contrary to appellant’s assertions, the transcript does not demonstrate an expectation of a suspended sentence. After the trial judge indicated an intent to impose the statutory minimum of ten years, defense counsel argued for an illegally lenient sentence by seeking suspension of the whole or part of the sentence. Most importantly, there is nothing in the record to indicate that either the prosecutor or the court led appellant to believe that he could receive a suspended sentence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Zabaleta“A guilty plea is constitutionally deficient where the state does not fulfill an express or implied part of the plea bargain which precipitated the defendant’s decision to so plead. (Citations omitted). Misunderstandings regarding sentence which are not induced by representations of the prosecutor or trial judge do not invalidate a guilty plea.”
