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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Before accepting a guilty plea, a court must satisfy itself that there is a factual basis for the plea. The purpose of the factual basis is to avoid a defendant mistakenly pleading to the wrong offense. To preclude this possibility, the trial judge has considerable discretion to determine whether there is a factual basis for a plea. Williams v. State, 316 So.2d 267 (Fla. 1975). In order to withdraw a guilty plea after sentence for lack of factual basis, a defendant must show prejudice or manifest injustice. Williams, 316 So.2d at 275 ; Grant v. State, 316 So.2d 282 (Fla. 1975).”
