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 79 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The constitutional guaranty against double jeopardy protects a defendant from multiple punishments for the same offense, a principle recognized in State v. Parker, 262 N.C. 679 , 138 S.E. 2d 496 (1964). See also U.S. v.Benz, 282 U.S. 304, 309 , 75 L. Ed. 354, 357 , 51 S. Ct. 113, 114 (1931). The fact that concurrent, identical sentences [are] imposed in each case makes this duplication of conviction and punishment no less a violation of defendant’s constitutional right not to be put in jeopardy twice for the same offense.”
