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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our construction of the statutory phrase “Commits a battery upon any person while in such place, or in entering or leaving such place” indicates that the legislature contemplated circumstances in which there is a close connection between the battery and the structure, such as when a burglar commits a battery on a victim to gain entry to the inhabited dwelling or structure, or commits a battery while within the structure, or commits a battery on a victim in order to leave the structure. In other words, there needs to be a relationship between the battery and either the burglar’s entry into, exit from, or presence in the structure. Once the burglar has exited the structure, the crime is complete.”
