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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Specific-intent crimes are “crimes which have as an essential element a specific intent that a result be reached.” General-intent crimes are “crimes which only require the doing of some act.” Felonious child abuse requires the State to prove “that the accused intentionally inflicted a serious physical injury upon the child or intentionally committed an assault resulting in a serious physical injury to the child.” The State is not required to prove that the defendant “specifically intended that the injury be serious.” Felony murder on the basis of felonious child abuse requires the State to prove that the victim was killed during the perpetration or attempted perpetration of felonious child abuse with the use of a deadly weapon. See N.C. [Gen. Stat.] § 14-17. This crime does not require the State to prove any specific intent on the part of the accused.”
