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 trial judge, the defendant, and defendant’s attorney all attest over their respective signatures that the matters and things stated in ‘Court’s Exhibit A’ were read by defendant or read to defendant. Defendant acknowledges that this was done and that he understands those matters and things. . . There is no rule of law that requires or even suggests that it must be presumed that the trial judge, the defendant, defendant’s attorney, or the judgment entry do not speak the truth. The judgment is not contradicted by the instant record . . . .””
