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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A motion to withdraw a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere may be made only before sentence is imposed or imposition of sentence is suspended; but to correct manifest injustice, the Court after sentence may set aside the judgment of conviction and permit the defendant to withdraw the plea.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A guilty plea may be withdrawn after sentencing only if the defendant affirmatively establishes that the trial court’s acceptance of [his or] her plea was manifestly unjust, and that the plea proceeding was fundamentally flawed such that there was a complete miscarriage of justice.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“her conduct in shaking a nine-month-old infant while aware that the child’s head was repeatedly hitting the wall involved such a wanton and willful disregard of an unreasonable human risk constituting malice, even if there were not an actual intent to kill or injure the infant, and that appellant’s knowledge that the infant’s head hit the wall "about four times,” reflects both the wantonness of her actions and the subjective awareness of the extreme risk of death or serious injury to the infant.”
