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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“failure to investigate or call an exculpatory witness `presents a prima facie showing of entitlement to relief, subject to rebuttal by evidence from the record or testimony at an evidentiary, hearing'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We recognize that determinations regarding the calling of witnesses generally fall within the discretion of counsel. Certainly counsel may have had valid reasons, even if informed of this alleged exculpatory witness, for recommending that Prieto go forward with the plea. However, the fact Prieto has specifically identified both a witness and the nature of her expected testimony distinguishes this case from those wherein summary denial of relief may have been proper. We believe this portion of the motion, presents a prima facie showing of entitlement to relief, subject to re buttal by evidence from the record or testimony at an evidentiary hearing.”
