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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That a conflict of interest arose is clearly shown by this record____ [The public defender] chose to advise [the codefendant], the offeree, thereby adversely affecting the interests of defendant, his other client. He was not effectively assisting this defendant; he was not identifying with his interests. This conflict was not remedied____ Defendant seeks a reversal of his conviction and a new trial. We agree that a new trial is necessary and this case is remanded for that purpose.””
