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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The essential difference between armed robbery and common law robbery is that the former is accomplished by the use or threatened use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon whereby the life of a person is endangered or threatened. ... In a prosecution for armed robbery the court is not required to submit the lesser included offense of common law robbery unless there is evidence of defendant’s guilt of that crime. If the State’s evidence shows an armed robbery as charged in the indictment and there is no conflicting evidence relating to the elements of the crime charged an instruction on common law robbery is not required. (Citations omitted.)””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage““Therefore, I charge you that if you find from the evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt that on or about the 15th day of April, 1977, Johnny Mack Oxner or Connie Ray Hickson had in their possession, either of them, a firearm and took and carried away a $50.00 bill from the person or the presence of Louis Keith without Mr. Keith’s voluntary con sent, and accomplished this by endangering or threatening Mr. Keith’s life with the use or threatened use of a sawed-off shotgun, the defendant knowing that he was not entitled to take the property, and intending at the time to deprive Mr. Keith of its use permanently, if you find those seven things from the evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty of robbery with a firearm. However, if you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things you should not find him guilty of robbery with a firearm. * * * [I]n order for you to find the defendant or either of them guilty of attempted robbery with a firearm the State must prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt: First, that the defendant or either of them, if they were acting in concert, intended to take the property of Louis Keith, to rob him, that is to say to forcibly take and carry away the personal property of Mr. Keith, and intended to take it from his person or from his presence without his consenting, knowing that they were not entitled to take it, intending to deprive him of its use permanently.””

To constitute larceny it is not required that the purpose of the taking be to convert the stolen property to the pecuniary advantage or convenience of the taker. It is sufficient if the taking be fraudulent and with the intent wholly to deprive the owner of his property. ...””
