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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] person commits the offense of habitual misdemeanor assault if that person violates any of the provisions of G.S. 14-33 and causes physical injury, or G.S. 14-34, and has two or more prior convictions for either misdemeanor or felony assault, with the earlier of the two prior convictions occurring no more than 15 years prior to the date of the current violation.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[H]abitual misdemeanor assault is a substantive offense and a punishment enhancement (or recidivist, or repeat-offender) offense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Our courts have defined `serious injury' as injury which is serious but falls short of causing death. . . .”
