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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]t some point during the plea Winford decided he didn’t want to deal. And the Judge said to him, “Well, are you going to plead guilty?” and he said, “No.” and I said, “What’s wrong?” and he said, “They’re lying on me.” And I said, “What do you mean they’re lying on you?” Apparently the newspapers had reported inaccurately the plea downtown and said that it was all consecutive time. And I said, “Well, you heard the Judge yourself downtown.” But he dug his heels in and said, “No, I’m not taking any kind of a plea.” So at that point the state frankly got miffed and withdrew their offer. And the Judge said, well, there was nothing he could do about it. All he could do was schedule the case for trial.”
