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

1. “THE COURT: There’s been no plea bargain in this case_ What I under- stand is about to occur, in just a moment I’m going to ask you for your plea. It’s my understanding you’re going to enter a plea of guilty and, based upon what I hear, you’re going to ask that I assess punishment in the case; is that correct? THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir. THE COURT: The record will also reflect that there has been a Motion to Suppress filed in this case and we had a hearing on it. The Court denied Miss Lynch’s Motion to Suppress. Mr. Baldwin will have some comments for the record before the plea is entered — after the plea is taken, and the Court does intend to grant Mr. Baldwin permission to pursue an appeal of the Court’s denial of his Motion to Suppress. Is the Defense ready to proceed in this case? MR. BALDWIN: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Is the State ready to proceed in this case? MR. SALAMY: Yes, Your Honor.”

2. “[T]he face of Rule 40(b)(1) shows that it applies only to pleas of guilty or nolo con-tendere “pursuant to Article 1.15, Code of Criminal Procedure,” which, in turn, applies only to a felony case. Accordingly, the limitation of Rule 40(b)(1) does not affect appellant’s right to appeal his misdemeanor conviction.”
