Most-quoted passages

““It is hardly realistic to say that nine months in the State prison amount to nothing — that since the petitioner ‘should not have been imprisoned as he was, he was not imprisoned at all.’ [Citation omitted.] Moreover, * * * the time served before the reversal of the sentence might in some other case be so long that glaring and intolerable injustice would result if the time served on a first sentence should not be taken into account in imposing a second sentence. It is not even technically correct to say that the first sentence must now be deemed to have been a nullity. It was not a nullity when it was imposed or while it teas being served.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’m sorry I had to bring you back in. I overlooked one thing in my charge and that is I instructed you there were only two verdicts you could bring in under this evidence and that is guilty or not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. However, the Court will now instruct you that if you do not find the defendant guilty, or you find the defendant not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, then it would be your duty to consider whether or not the defendant is guilty of an assault with a deadly weapon.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Burris“It (assault with a deadly weapon) is an essential element of the felony created and defined by G.S. 14-32, being an included `less degree of the same crime.'”
