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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘A valid warrant or indictment is an essential of jurisdiction.’ State v. Morgan, 226 N.C. 414 , 38 S.E. 2d 166 ; State v. Thornton, 251 N.C. 658, 660 , 111 S.E. 2d 901, 902 . The warrant or indictment must charge all the essential elements of the alleged criminal offense. State v. Morgan, supra. Nothing in G.S. 15-153 or in G.S. 15-155 [statutes dealing with certain informalities and defects that do not vitiate a warrant or indictment] dispenses with the requirement that the essential elements of the offense must be charged. State v. Gibbs, 234 N.C. 259, 261 , 66 S.E. 2d 883, 885 , and cases cited; State v. Strickland, 243 N.C. 100, 101 , 89 S.E. 2d 781 , 783.””
