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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“if the defendant in such case consents in ■writing, in open court, to waive the appearance, confrontation, and cross-examination of witnesses, and further consents either to an oral stipulation of the evidence and testimony or to the introduction of testimony by affidavits, written statements of witness, and any other documentary evidence in support of the judgment of the court. Such waiver and consent must be approved by the court in writing, and be filed in the file of the papers of the cause.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Wright v. State · Tijerina v. State““The failure to comply with such state statute [Article 1.15, V.A.C.C.P.] does not a federal constitutional violation make, nor does it render Burks [v. United States, 437 U.S. 1 , 98 S.Ct. 2141 , 57 L.Ed.2d 1 (1978) ] and Greene [v. Massey, 437 U.S. 19 , 98 S.Ct. 2151 , 57 L.Ed.2d 15 (1978) ] applicable to such proceedings so that the defendant who knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily enters a guilty plea goes free and stands acquitted for evermore of the crime to which he had pleaded guilty. To the extent that Laflore v. State, 595 S.W.2d 862 (Tex.Cr.App.1980), and Thornton v. State, 601 S.W.2d 340 (Tex.Cr.App.1980) (opinion on rehearing), and their progeny are in conflict with today’s holding, they are overruled to the extent of the conflict.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Morris v. State“In felony cases a plea of guilty before the jury admits the existence of all nec essary elements to establish guilty, and in such cases, the introduction of testimony by the State is to enable the jury to intehigently exercise the discretion which the law vests in them touching the penalty to be assessed. In such cases there is no question of the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, or on collateral attack.”
