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

1. “appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the claims Mr. Henderson has raised regarding trial counsel’s ineffectiveness in failing to investigate Mr. Henderson’s paternal family history of serious mental illness, failing to investigate the traumatic brain injury Mr. Henderson suffered at age eleven, failing to review the discovery provided to them by the State and investigate the red flags signaling Mr. Henderson’s serious mental illness contained therein, and then failing to present information regarding mental illness and brain injury to their experts. Appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the issue that trial counsel’s ineffectiveness, led trial counsel to fail to properly advise Mr. Henderson regarding entry of a guilty plea and waiver of jury sentencing and, ultimately, to present the trial court with a false and misleading picture of Mr. Henderson. Appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to proffer the proof in support of those claims that Mr. Henderson has developed.”
