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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“defendant's appearance, demeanor, conduct, personal and family history, past behavior, medical and psychiatric reports and the statements of counsel.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“If a defendant has sufficient intelligence to rationally choose whether to stand trial, plead guilty, or enter a plea of mental irresponsibility, the choice is his — not that of his attorney — for the constitution gives him the right to appear and defend either in person or by counsel. Const, art. 1, § 22. Whether the defendant possesses requisite mental competency to make a plea of guilty rests largely within the trial court’s discretion, and acceptance and entry of the plea by the court will not be overturned except in clear cases of abuse of such discretion.”
