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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the case at bar, the record reflects that appellant knew that counsel had not sought a medical expert to attempt to refute the State’s evidence, but appellant wished to enter his plea anyway. Thus, the voluntariness of appellant’s plea was not affected by counsel’s failure to pursue medical testimony and the inquiry was specific enough to preclude an evi-dentiary hearing.”
