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 93 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he court [in John] viewed the struggle between the defendant and the victim as “fairly imputable to an effort on the part of the prisoner to get loose from [the victim’s] grasp and make his escape.” [John] at 169. The holding in John indicates that in this State, the defendant’s use of force or intimidation must necessarily precede or be concomitant with the taking before the defendant can properly be found guilty of armed robbery. That is, the use of force or violence must be such as to induce the victim to part with his or her property. This rule appears to be in accord with the majority of jurisdictions.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“§ 15A-957. Motion for change of venue. — If, upon motion of the defendant, the court determines that there exists in the county in which the prosecution is pending so great a prejudice against the defendant that he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial, the court must either: (1) Transfer the proceeding to another county in the judicial district or to another county in an adjoining judicial district, or (2) Order a special venire under the terms of G.S. 15A-958. The procedure for change of venue is in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 of this Chapter, Venue.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Abbott · State v. Corbett“[t]he evidence [in Richardson] conclusively showed that the defendant had no intent at that time to deprive the victim of his property and did not at that time “take” the property from him. It was only later after the victim had left the scene that the defendant went through the duf-fle bag and discovered the wallet. At that time, well after his use of a dangerous weapon, he first formed the intent to permanently deprive the owner of his property.”
