4 canonical passages across 4 cases, quoted by 13 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from State v. Alston.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | State v. Alston Anchor | green | “an 'alford plea' constitutes a guilty plea in the same way that a plea of nolo contendere or no contest is a guilty plea.” | 4 |
| 2 | State v. Robinson | green | “placed heavy reliance on the length of time between a defendant's entry of a guilty plea and motion to withdraw the plea.” | 3 |
| 3 | State v. Handy | green | “in a case where the defendant seeks to withdraw his guilty plea before sentence, he is generally accorded that right if he can show any fair and just reason.” | 3 |
| 4 | State v. Meyer | green | “although there is no absolute right to withdraw a guilty plea, withdrawal motions made prior to sentencing, and especially at a very early stage of the proceedings, should be granted with liberality.” | 3 |
