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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It should be noted that the legislature apparently recognized the inconsistencies in the theft and possession statutes and amended A.R.S. Sec. 28-1423 to alleviate the problems raised by this appeal. The new statute, A.R.S. Sec. 13-672.01, provides that possession of a stolen motor vehicle may be punished either as a misdemeanor or a felony. Thus, under the new statute no anomaly results as long as possession of a motor vehicle stolen under Sec. 13-672(B) (with intent to permanently deprive) is punished as a felony while possession of a motor vehicle stolen under Sec. 13-672(C) (with intent to temporarily deprive) is punished as a misdemeanor. Although the statute does not expressly state that the punishment is to be applied in this way, we so construe the statute in order to avoid the same inequitable results and the same constitutional infirmity which would have existed under the prior statute. “As the statutes now exist, a vehicle taken with the intent to either temporarily or permanently deprive the owner is a stolen motor vehicle within the terms of A.R.S. Sec. 13-672.01. The punishment for violation of that statute, however, depends on the state’s proof of the intent with which the vehicle was originally taken.” 27 Ariz.App. at 444 , 555 P.2d at 1132 .”
