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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that persons, actually or constructively present, aiding and abetting the commission of an armed robbery, but not themselves committing it, are principals in the second degree. Vincent v. State, 220 Md. 232 , 151 A. 2d 898 ; Agresti v. State, supra. While appellant was not actually present at the immediate place of the perpetration of the robbery, he was, as in Vincent , in close proximity and contiguity thereto and in such a position to be of aid and assistance to Matto in the successful perpetration of the crime.””
