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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Determination of the defendant's state of mind is certainly critical in determining the voluntariness of a plea. Ford v. United States , 418 F.2d 855 (8th Cir. 1969). See Griffith v. Wyrick , 527 F.2d 109 (8th Cir. 1975). However, to a large extent, it is to be determined by examining the totality of the circumstances surrounding the plea instead of solely on the basis of the defendant's subsequent testimony. United States ex rel. Robinson v. Housewright , 525 F.2d 988 (7th Cir. 1975); Calabrese v. United States , 507 F.2d 259 (1st Cir. 1974); Ford v. United States, supra. Otherwise every plea would be subject to successful attack." Toler v. Wyrick , 563 F.2d 372 , 373-74 (8th Cir. 1977).”
