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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We, like the trial court, cannot find fault in an attorney having a frank and straightforward discussion with his client regarding the possible outcome of a trial by jury; to neglect such a discussion could amount to deficient representation .... [However,] Blanch has not offered any supporting evidence as to what his defense would have been had he gone to trial. Without supporting evidence that Blanch was in some way coerced into taking the plea or had some defense, we find no merit in this asserted instance of deficient representation. A final review of the transcript reveals that Blanch, when questioned by the trial court regarding his representation, stated that he was completely and totally satisfied with his representation.”
