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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"`Wharton defines a continuing offense as a transaction or a series of acts set on foot by a single impulse, and operated by an unintermittent force, no matter how long a time it may occupy. [Wharton's Criminal Pleading and Practice § 474 (8th ed. 1880)]. It is an offense which continues day by day. * * * The prosecution of an offense of this nature is a bar to a subsequent prosecution for the same offense charged to have been committed at any time before the institution of the first prosecution, but it is not a bar to a subsequent prosecution for continuing the offense thereafter, as this is a new violation of the law.'"”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Duncan v. State“[T]he purpose of a non-support statute is not only to prevent a neglected wife [ ] from becoming a public charge, but that the higher and more important purpose of the Legislature was to assist deserted or neglected wives [ ] in directly procuring support, to punish the infliction of this kind of wrong upon them, and by the fear of such punishment to deter husbands [] from leaving their families to endure privation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“"If it be assumed that Delaware could punish the appellee for non-support from September 1, 1952 to March 3, 1953, either under the original order or by a new prosecution, the rule of double jeopardy would not bar prosecution here for violation of Maryland law. The same act may be a crime against two sovereignties, and, where it is, double jeopardy does not apply."”
