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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Appellant urges that as the breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, i.e., grand larceny and the grand larceny were both a part of the same criminal transaction, he can only be sentenced for the highest offense, i.e., breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony. We agree. The key element of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, i.e., grand larceny is the intent. To prove the crime of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, it must be shown that a grand larceny did occur or that there was property valued at $100.00 or more which could have been the subject of the larceny. We hold that appellant can only be sentenced for the highest offense which is breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony."”
