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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In short, the victim must be induced to part with her property as a result of the violence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he only force used by defendant was that sufficient to remove her purse from her shoulder. Defendant never attempted to overpower her or otherwise restrain her. Rather, this was no more than atypical purse-snatching incident, which courts in other jurisdictions routinely have held to be larceny, not robbery.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Morgan“The taking of property from the person of another by surprise, as by sudden snatching, does not constitute robbery . . . the sudden snatching of a purse or other property from a person's hand is not robbery[,] the offense constitutes larceny.”
