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 88 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]llegations of error that could have been but were not raised on appeal from a criminal conviction cannot be raised by habeas corpus or postconviction review, except in unusual circumstances.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Tillman v. Cook · State v. West“[Tlhe failure of counsel to make motions or objections which would be futile if raised does not constitute ineffective assistance.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Bond · State v. Simmons“(1) The burden of establishing inadequate representation is on the defendant “and proof of such must be a demonstrable reality and not a speculative matter.” (2) A lawyer’s “legitimate exercise of judgment” in the choice of trial strategy or tactics that did not produce the anticipated result does not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel. (3) It must appear that any deficiency in the performance of counsel was prejudicial. In this context, prejudice means that without counsel’s error there was a “reasonable likelihood that there would have been a different result.””
