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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t does appear in this case from the language of the plea agreements that the parties were proceeding under the auspices of Subsection (B) since the attorney general made a recommendation to the court in each case, which is a far cry from agreeing that a specific sentence is the 'appropriate disposition' of the case in a type (C) agreement. More attention to the particular language used in such agreements would forestall any confusion about the matter.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“a guilty plea represents a break in the change of events which has preceded it in the criminal process. Once a criminal defendant has solemnly admitted in open court that he is in fact guilty of the offense with which he is charged, he may not thereafter raise independent claims relating to the deprivation of constitutional rights that occur prior to the entry of the guilty plea. He may only attack the voluntary and intelligent character of the guilty plea by showing that the advice he received from counsel did not meet appropriate standards. See Tollett v. Henderson , 411 U.S. 258 , 93 S.Ct. 1602 , 1608, 36 L.Ed.2d 235 (1973). The acceptance of the guilty plea is equally conclusive as to the State. The proceedings are in the exclusive jurisdiction and control of the Court. The District Attorney may appear at a subsequent sentencing hearing and present evidence relevant to the issue of sentencing, however, the sentence is to be imposed by the Court. T.C.A. $ 40-35-203. Any other procedure would be an encroachment on the judicial process.”
