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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]s the greater includes the less, it is manifest that in every case where an attempt is charged proof of the actual commission of the offense establishes the attempt. If the offender actually commits the offense, he necessarily attempted to do it, and proof of the commission of the actual offense does not constitute a variance.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Defendant invokes the rule, operative in some jurisdictions by judicial holdings, and in others by statute, that there can be no conviction of an attempt to commit a felony if the evidence establishes consummation of the felony. This is the rule in Illinois. People v. Lardner, (1921), 300 Ill. 264 ( 133 N.E. 375 , 19 A.L.R. 721 ). But the rule is not general, and does not prevail in this jurisdiction. If an information admits of conviction of an attempt to commit a felony, an accused may be found guilty of the attempt, though the evidence shows a completed offense. People v. Miller, (1893), 96 Mich. 119 [ 55 N. W. 675 ]; People v. Blanchard (1904), 136 Mich. 146 [ 98 N. W. 983 ], Such a verdict may he illogical, but the people cannot complain, and the defendant must accept it, even though less in measure than his just deserts; at least he cannot he heard to say that he has suffered injury. ” (Emphasis added.)”
