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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(c) Insuring That the Guilty Plea Is Made Knowingly. Before accepting a plea of guilty ... the court shall address the defendant personally in open court and inform the defendant of, and determine that the defendant understands the following: (1) The elements of the crime charged, the maximum possible sentence and any mandatory minimum sentence; and (2) That by pleading guilty ... the defendant is relinquishing the right to a trial, at which the defendant would have the following rights: (A) The right to be considered innocent until proven guilty by the state beyond a reasonable doubt; and (B) The right to a speedy and public trial by the court or by a jury; and (C) The right to confront and cross-examine witnesses against the defendant; and (D) The right to present witnesses on the defendant’s behalf and the right to either be or decline to be a witness on the defendant’s behalf. (d) Insuring That the Plea Is Voluntary. Before accepting a plea of guilty ... the court shall determine that the plea is the product of the defendant’s free choice and not the result of force, threats or promises other than those in connection with a plea agreement. The court shall make this determination by addressing the defendant personally in open court. The court shall inquire as to the existence and terms of a plea agreement, as provided in Rule 11(A).”
