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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “'The record must affirmatively show the colloquy between the court and the defendant wherein the defendant is shown to have a full understanding of what the plea of guilty connotes and its consequences.' Walcott v. State , 48 Ala. App. 754 , 263 So.2d 177 (Ala.Cr.App.), 288 Ala. 546 , 547 , 263 So.2d 178 (Ala. 1972). This colloquy may be supplemented, however, by a validly executed Ireland form if the trial court ascertains, on the record, that the accused has read and understood the rights enumerated in that form. Twyman v. State , 293 Ala. 75 , 300 So.2d 124 (1974); Cashin v. State , 428 So.2d 179 (Ala.Cr.App. 1982); McNalley v. State , 468 So.2d 209 (Ala.Cr.App. 1985).”
