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.
“Plea withdrawal. — If a motion for withdrawal of a plea of guilty or nolo contende-re is made before sentence is imposed, the court may permit withdrawal of the plea upon a showing by the defendant of any fair and just reason. At any later time, a plea may be set aside only to correct manifest injustice. (Emphasis added.)”

State““[A]n abuse of discretion is not demonstrated even if a ‘plausible’ or a ‘just and fair’ reason for withdrawal is presented if the requirements of Rule 15, W.R.Cr.P., [now W.R.Cr.P. 11] have been met and the record is clear that the defendant intelligently, knowingly, and voluntarily entered into his plea of guilty.””
