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.

1. “The evidence presented at trial tended to show that [the victim] was dragged out of his home by three men armed with firearms, one of which [the victim] identified as defendant. At least two of the assailants entered [the victim's] home looking to steal drugs and money. Finding no drugs or money in [the victim's] home, the three men left the scene, leaving [the victim] lying on the ground shot in the back. This evidence is sufficient to support an inference by the jury that defendant was involved with the two other assailants in a conspiracy to commit the felony of robbery with a firearm . . . .”

2. “We hold that the evidence that defendant met with two other men, one of whom was armed; that the three men drove to the home of the victim; and that the three men then left the vehicle and entered the victim's home, robbed the victim, and shot him is substantial evidence from which the jury could find the robbery was carried out pursuant to a common plan to rob the victim.”
