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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An act or omission which is made punishable in different ways by different provisions of this code may be punished under either of such provisions, but in no case can it be punished under more than one; an acquittal or conviction and sentence under either one bars a prosecution for the same act or omission under any other.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Matthews v. State · State v. Horn“[A]n offense will be deemed to be a lesser included offense of another, greater offense, if all the elements required to sustain a conviction of the lesser included offense are included within the elements needed to sustain a conviction of the greater offense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Sivak v. State · Rome v. State“We hold that I.C. § 18-301 does not prohibit the defendant’s sentencing for both the crimes of burglary and rape. As pointed out in State v. Green, supra, and previously in this opinion, the crimes of burglary and rape do not have identical components. The “act” of burglary herein was complete when the defendant entered the premises with the intent to commit rape. The rape was not complete until the defendant had intercourse with the victim. Although both crimes arose out of the same incident, each constituted separate acts under I.C. § 18-301. See generally State v. Mooneyham, 96 Idaho 145 , 525 P.2d 340 (1974); State v. Hall, 86 Idaho 63 , 383 P.2d 602 (1963).”
