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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Let me say at the outset for the sake of the record that the Attorney General of the State of North Dakota, Honorable Neis G. Johnson, is opposed personally to the allowance of this plea and that by my taking this plea I am taking it upon my own responsibility and against the recommendations and the opinion of the Attorney General of the State of North Dakota. However, your Honor, I as State’s Attorney feel accepting it on behalf of the State in the case that it is advisable, that it is expedient to take this plea * State v. Thomson, 34 N.W.2d at 85 .”
