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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Fundamental error has been defined by this Court as follows: ‘Error that is fundamental must be such error as goes to the foundation or basis of a defendant’s rights or must go to the foundation of the case or take from the defendant a right which was essential to his defense * * * ’ State v. Garcia, 46 N.M. 302, 309 , 128 P.2d 459, 462 (1942). This court further stated that no court ‘ * * * could or ought to permit [the defendant] to waive * * * ’ this right and in determining whether fundamental error exists, each case must stand on its own.””
