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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The State relied on the same facts to prove the kidnapping as to prove the restraint. Although the jury was entitled to infer both the intent to restrain and the intent to do serious bodily injury from the same facts, defendant’s second intent was not a foregone conclusion. The resolution of the issue was the important difference between two crimes — unlawful restraint and kidnapping. Under these circumstances, it was error not to follow our general rule that lesser-included offenses must be charged when raised by the evidence.”
