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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When the evidence shows conclusively that the value of the stolen property exceeds $35, as in the theft of more than that amount in cash or of property worth a great deal more, such as a new automobile, the lesser offense obviously need not be submitted. At the other extreme, when there are conflicting estimates of value both above and below $35, the lesser offense obviously must be submitted. Neither extreme is presented here.”
