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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The appellant] took an active and aggressive part in the robbery of the Booths. Abner Williams, one of his companions, did hold a long-bladed knife at the throat of Edward Booth, while appellant beat up and robbed Joe Booth... . The appellant was a principal in the crime of armed robbery. He was positively identified as one of the three actively engaged in the robbery. All three acted jointly and in concert; each was responsible and accountable for the wrongful actions of the other two.”
