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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] factual basis is an `essential part of the constitutionally valid and enforceable decision to plead guilty'. This factual basis cannot simply be implied from the fact that the defendant entered a plea of guilty. Rather, there must be an evidentiary foundation in the record which is `sufficiently specific to allow the court to determine that the defendant's conduct was within the ambit of that defined as criminal'. Unless courts are satisfied that such a factual basis exists, they are admonished not to enter judgment on a plea of guilty.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Austin v. State · Carter v. State“push the court to delve beyond the admission of guilty [sic] lying on the surface and determine for itself whether there is substantial evidence that the petitioner did in fact commit those crimes he is charged with and is not entering the plea for some other reason that the law finds objectionable.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“an intelligent assessment by the defendant of: (1) whether he has in fact done anything wrong under the law, and (2) the likelihood that he stands to be convicted if he exercises his right to a jury trial.”
