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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where erroneous legal advice on sentencing has been given to a defendant by his counsel and/or defendant relied on assertions or predictions made by his counsel, no error attaches if the record affirmatively shows the defendant was correctly advised of his peril by the sentencing court. In some cases, however, mistaken advice from counsel can vitiate a guilty plea. In Gardner [v. State, 531 So.2d 805 (Miss.1988) ], the court stated the thoroughness by which the lower court had interrogated Gardner at the time his guilty plea was tendered was the most significant evidence. The court then determined regardless of the instructions or advice defendant may have received from counsel, the thoroughness of the lower court’s questioning at the sentencing hearing was sufficient to render the plea voluntary.”
