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.
““An act or omission which is made punishable in different ways by different sections of the laws may be punished under both, but in no event may sentences be other than concurrent. An acquittal or conviction and sentence under either one bars a prosecution for the same act or omission under any other, to the extent the constitution of the United States or of this state require.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Newman · State v. Williams““In the instant case, the defendant demanded the victim’s wallet and threatened him with a gun prior to shooting him. Even though the victim’s wallet was not taken until after the victim was shot and presumably dead, the acts which constituted the robbery were separate and apart from the acts which constituted the murder. The fatal shooting constituted first degree murder independent of the armed robbery. Under the facts of this case, we hold that the intervening crime of murder does not preclude a conviction of armed robbery as well as murder, and the trial court was correct in imposing consecutive sentences for armed robbery and murder.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Vaughn · State v. Woods“In this regard, the Court does not agree with the State's interpretation of A.R.S. 13-703(F)(5) and State v. Madsen filed March 26, 1980. The Court believes that when A.R.S. 13-703(F)(4) and (5) are read together that they are intended to apply to a contract-type killing situation and not to a robbery, burglary, etc.”
