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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A person commits kidnapping by knowingly restraining another person with the intent to: 3. Inflict death, physical injury or a sexual offense on the victim, or to otherwise aid in the commission of a felony; or 4. Place the victim or a third person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury to the victim or such third personQ or] 5. Interfere with the performance of a governmental or political function.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Appellant’s last argument has no merit. The lead detective in the case testified that during the investigation she obtained a photo of appellant for the purpose of assembling a photographic lineup to show to the victims. There was no reference to appellant’s prior police record, the witness did not use the term “mug shot”, and the statement does not imply any prior criminal record. Although the introduction into evidence of mug shots or the mention of the fact that the police had photos of the defendant taken sometime before the crime can be error when it infers a prior arrest, State v. Kelly, 111 Ariz. 181 , 526 P.2d 720 (1974), cert. den. 420 U.S. 935 , 95 S.Ct. 1143 , 43 L.Ed.2d 411 (1975), that is not the situation here. It is just as reasonable that the jury would infer that such photo was available from some source other than police records as, for example, a driver’s license. See State v. Dixon, 127 Ariz. 554 , 622 P.2d 501 (App.1980). (Emphasis added.)”
