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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “During the guilty plea hearing, the court read the charges to petitioner and the prosecutor recited the factual situations surrounding the charges. Petitioner responded affirmatively when asked if he had discussed the charges with his attorney, if he was satisfied that his attorney had all the necessary facts to give adequate advice, if he had enough time to discuss the charges with his attorney, if he had been advised of his legal rights, if he was satisfied with the services of his attorney, and if he understood the consequences of a guilty plea and the range of punishment for the crimes to which he was pleading guilty.”

2. “Henderson is easily distinguished from the facts now before us. As Justice Stevens pointed out, the facts in Henderson were ‘unique’ because the state trial judge ‘found as a fact that the element of intent was not explained to the respondent.’... Here, petitioner was charged from the beginning with [first-degree murder] and the state court made a specific finding of fact that the nature of the offense was fully understood by [petitioner]. The Henderson presumption that counsel explained the nature of the charge to the defendant lends strong support to that finding.”
