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.
“Prior to the Theft Code [the 1963 Act], it was certain that proof of larceny under a charge of receiving stolen goods presented a failure of proof, as these were separate and distinct crimes. However, the Theft Code [the 1963 Act] creates the crime of theft defining it in various forms within several statutory provisions. The old crimes of larceny, embezzlement, and receiving stolen property are now redefined as theft under § 10-3030 supra.”
