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 107 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'Robbery may be defined as the felonious taking and carrying away of the personal property of another from his person ... by the use of violence or by putting him in fear. The crime, however, is not committed unless there is an intention to deprive the owner permanently of his property or the property of another lawfully in his possession.’ ” In addition, this Court said:”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Foster v. State · State v. Gover“"The law, briefly stated, is that if a confession be admissible, the accused may insist upon it being offered in its entirety, and not simply selected portions thereof; but, after it has once been admitted, the weight to be given the several parts thereof, inculpatory and exculpatory, is for the triers of the facts to determine.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Appellant’s request asked for a number of items, including one for the particulars as to "the * * * hypothesis of commission” of the crime charged. We assume that this was an expression of a desire to make the State give the defense its theory of the case. All of the particulars requested were furnished except this one, and the appellant, without citing a single authority which states that it is proper to require the prosecution to state its theory of a case under a request for particulars, claims prejudicial error. The contention misconceives the right, vel non, to, and the function and office of, a bill of particulars. As a general rule, particulars are not granted as a matter of right, but the granting and denial thereof rest in the sound discretion of the trial court, Pearlman v. State, supra; however, the courts of Maryland rightfully have been quite liberal in granting such particulars on proper occasions, and especially when indictments have been drawn in the short forms permitted by statute. But bills of particulars are intended to guard against the taking of an accused by surprise by limiting the scope of the proof. Berger v. State, 179 Md. 410 ; Hunter v. State, 193 Md. 596 . They have never, to our knowledge, been utilized for the purpose of requiring the State to elect a theory upon which it intends to proceed. As the Court succinctly stated in Rose v. United States, 149 F.2d 755 (C.A. 9): "The purpose of a bill of particulars is to secure facts, not legal theorie”
