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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As the State correctly notes in its brief on appeal, counsel’s failure to advise a defendant that he was ‘not’ eligible to earn IGT [correctional incentive time] credit while he was incarcerated does not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel nor does it render a guilty plea involuntary. Fearson v. State, 662 So.2d 1225 (Ala.Crim.App.1995). Moreover, the Court found that Patterson was advised of the correct sentencing range for the crime of first-degree burglary before he entered his guilty plea. Accordingly, he is not entitled to relief on his claim that his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered. “However, Patterson contends that trial counsel told him that he would receive IGT credit if he pleaded guilty to this offense. It is unclear from the record whether counsel did in fact so misinform Patterson regarding his eligibility for IGT credit. This Court must remand this matter to the circuit court for a determination as to this issue, and the State has requested that we do so.””
