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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An appellate court reviews the denial of a motion for postconviction relief alleging ineffective assistance of counsel as a mixed question of fact and law. While affording great deference to the trial court's factual findings, the court conducts an independent review of the legal conclusions flowing from those findings. As stated in Stephens v. State, 748 So.2d 1028 (Fla.1999), "under Strickland, both the performance and prejudice prongs are mixed questions of law and fact, with deference to be given only to the lower court's factual findings." Id. at 1033 (citing Strickland, 466 U.S. at 698 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 ).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“An examination of counsel's performance begins with a strong presumption that it is reasonable and is considered from the attorney's perspective under the circumstances at the time of trial. Downs v. State, 453 So.2d 1102, 1106 (Fla.1984). However, to make valid strategic or tactical decisions, an attorney "has a duty to make reasonable investigations or to make a reasonable decision that particular investigations are unnecessary." Light v. State, 796 So.2d 610, 616 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001) (citing Strickland, 466 U.S. at 691 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 ).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“That is, the [postconviction court] is not examining simply whether [it] believes the evidence presented as opposed to contradictory evidence presented at trial, but whether the nature of the evidence is such that a reasonable jury may have believed it.”
