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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We have reviewed a transcript of Hamlin’s change of plea and find that he did in fact enter an open plea and that the trial judge explained to Hamlin that the judge was not bound to any sentencing arrangement. However, the judge in this plea colloquy, unlike the standard plea colloquy, failed to inquire if any promises had been made to Hamlin. This court has stated: [A] trial court is always well-advised, when accepting a plea, to ascertain whether any promises were made to the defendant apart from those discussed during the plea colloquy. At this juncture it is incumbent upon the defendant to reveal any additional expectations he may have; generally, he will be estopped from later arguing a position contrary to statements made in open court or in writing. •”
