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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The plea of no contest is not an admission of defendant’s guilt, but is an admission of the truth of the facts alleged in the indictment, information, or complaint and such plea or admission shall not be used against the defendant in any subsequent civil or criminal proceeding.” (Emphasis added.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The trial court has clear authority in a felony case to determine whether the facts alleged in the indictment, information, or complaint are sufficient to justify conviction of the offense charged. If an indictment alleges facts sufficient to support a conviction, the trial court’s acceptance of a no contest plea requires a guilty finding. If not, the court may dismiss the charge or find the defendant guilty of a lesser included offense which is shown by those alleged facts.””
