  1. “unless the statute is construed, in an appropriate case, such as this, to require that for such a tool to be”
    7 later decisions quote this exact passage
    e.g. In Interest of TC · Broughton v. State
  2. “"We hold, therefore, that in light of the facts and circumstances of the instant case, the trial court erred imposing sentence of fifteen years on petitioner's conviction of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, and imposing an additional concurrent sentence of five years on petitioner's conviction of possession of burglary tools. In a case such as this, only one sentence may be imposed, and that sentence, obviously, cannot exceed that which could be imposed solely upon conviction for the highest offense contained within the transaction. We therefore must reverse the First District on this point."”
