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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(c) Accomplice defined. — A person is an accomplice of another person in the commission of an offense if: (1) with the intent of promoting or facilitating the commission of the offense, he: (1) solicits such other person to commit it; or (ii) aids or agrees or attempts to aid such other person in planning or committing it; or (2) his conduct is expressly declared by law to establish his complicity.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““In determining whether to grant the request, the necessary inquiry is whether the alleged occurrence was prejudicial to the defendant, ‘that is, [whether] it is of such a nature ... that it may reasonably be said to have deprived the defendant of a fair and impartial trial.””
