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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial court’s order specifically found that Ross was fully aware of his habitual offender status as it affected his sentencing, as noted in Ross’s notarized plea agreement and evident from his plea hearing transcript. Specifically, Ross’s plea agreement states that he was fully aware of the consequences of his guilty plea, his habitual offender status, and that the prosecutor would recommend a twenty-five year sentence. Furthermore, the transcript of Ross’s plea hearing evinces his understanding of his plea as a habitual offender and makes clear that said plea was given freely and voluntarily. Though the original plea agreement called for a recommendation of a twenty year sentence, Ross’s habitual offender status precluded such a sentence as the maximum sentence of twenty-five years was the only option available to the lower court.”
