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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]f a motion for withdrawal of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere is made before sentence is imposed, the court may permit withdrawal of the plea upon a showing by the defendant of any fair and just reason.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A defendant does not have an absolute right to withdraw his guilty plea, and the decision whether to allow him to do so is with the sound discretion of the trial court.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We will reverse a denial of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea only upon a showing that the court abused its discretion. Thus, a defendant must show that 'fair and just reason' exists justifying his request for withdrawal, and that the district court's findings to the contrary are clearly erroneous.”
