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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[W]e are not in a position to ‘second guess’, through appellate hindsight, the strategy adopted by counsel at trial. . The fact that another attorney may have pursued a different tactical course of trial is insufficient to support a finding of ineffective assistance of counsel. “We should not . . . attempt to ascertain the specific reason why counsel interrogated the arresting officers in the manner established by the record . Our duty is to review the totality of the representation and determine whether the appellant has been denied his constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel.””
