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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A. The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident or as close thereto as possible but shall then forthwith return to and in every event shall remain at the scene of the accident until he has fulfilled the requirements of section 28-663. B. The driver who is involved in an accident resulting in death or serious physical injury as defined in section 13-105 and who fails to stop or to comply with the requirements of section 28-663 is guilty of a class 5 felony. Any person who is involved in an accident resulting in an injury other than death or a serious physical injury and who fails to stop or to comply with the requirements of section 28-663 is guilty of a class 6 felony.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Tinajero“[t]he gravamen of the statutory offense is failure to remain at the scene, a crime of omission. Thus, a driver who becomes involved in multiple accidents has a duty created by law to remain at the scene of the accidents and to render aid to those injured and to otherwise comply with the provisions of A.R.S. § 28-663. Defendant’s duty was to remain at the scene. His single act of leaving caused him to omit the performance of that duty as it relates to each accident.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Tinajero“The Constitution speaks of “offense.” Generally, criminal “offenses” are defined in relationship to a victim____ Equally, the law generally does not make the act itself criminal unless harm or potential harm results to another. Thus, conceptually, the law itself focuses on the results rather than the act. We see no reason why this focus should shift when defining the term “offense.””
