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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While the courts generally hold that one who obtains property upon a credit agreement and later gives a bogus check in payment is not guilty of the crime of obtaining property by false pretenses because nothing in exchange for the check is obtained, the offense defined in [Arizona’s Bad Check Act] is a new and distinct one, and to be guilty of it is not necessary that one obtain money or property at the time of passing the check.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Cruz“"* * * the offense is complete when it is shown that the defendant gave the check, representing thereby that it was good and valid and would pay the indebtedness, knowing at the time that he had no funds to meet it, and therefore that it was absolutely worthless. * * *" (Emphasis ours.)”
