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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The touching or violation necessary to prove [robbery] may be indirect, but cannot result merely from the force associated with the taking.” Instead, “[violence or force requires a physical touching or violation of the victim’s person.” ... “ ‘[T]he offense of robbery ... is not related to the force used on the object taken but to the force or intimidation directed at the person of the victim.’ ” $ H* H* H* [T]here must be “additional circumstances at the time of the snatching tending to transform the taking from a larceny to a robbery.” For example, these circumstances are present when a struggle ensues, where the -victim is knocked down, or where the victim is put in fear — in other words, where the defendant employs violence or intimidation against the victim’s person.”
