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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"In this case, the habitual offender information set forth the dates [the defendant] was convicted of the two prior felonies, but it failed to show the dates he committed the prior felonies. Although the dates the prior felonies were committed may be introduced into evidence through testimony, the guilty plea hearing transcript reveals evidence of the commission dates was never introduced, and [the defendant] was not informed on the record that the statute mandated the specific sequence. Because the facts alleged in the charging information and at the guilty plea hearing were insufficient to adjudge [the defendant] an habitual offender, the guilty plea court erred when it accepted [the defendant's] guilty plea to being an habitual offender and enhanced [his] sentence ... pursuant to the plea agreement."”
