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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]f so, Walch's felonious intent and actions commenced before such monies reached the two accounts, and her status as a joint legal owner of the account funds would not shield her from culpability for theft of funds subsequently withdrawn and misused.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Walch's mere status as a party to the joint accounts did not provide her with lawful authority to use [the victim's] assets for her own benefit and therefore did not preclude her conviction for theft.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“expressly precluded Walch from using [the victim's] assets for Walch's own legal obligations, including but not limited to support of the agent's dependents.”
