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 143 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(a) The defendant has filed with the trial court a written statement, executed under oath or penalty of perjury showing reasonable constitutional, jurisdictional, or other grounds going to the legality of the proceedings; and “(b) The trial court has executed and filed a certificate of probable cause for such appeal with the county clerk.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““Section 1237.5 establishes the procedure for perfecting an appeal from a judgment based on a plea of guilty .... Issues reviewable on such an appeal include those raised by a claimed ineffectiveness of counsel. . . and any abuse of discretion in denying a motion to withdraw a plea of guilty [citation]. It thus appears that review of all issues suggested by petitioner was available under section 1237.5.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“On application of the defendant at any time before judgment... the court may, and in case of a defendant who appeared without counsel at the time of the plea the court shall, for a good cause shown, permit the plea of guilty to be withdrawn and a plea of not guilty substituted.”
