These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the robber need not be armed at all times during the robbery in order to be guilty of robbery in the first degree; he is guilty of robbery in the first degree if he arms himself or becomes armed with a deadly weapon at any time during the progress of the taking or while the robbery is being perpetrated, and in this connection the crime of robbery is not completed the moment the stolen property is in the possession of the robbers, but may be deemed to continue during their attempt to escape.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"From a reading of the facts of this case it is at once apparent that appellants were engaged in the `taking' of the personal property of the victim Weir at the time they became armed with the 38-caliber revolver. Appellants being thus armed while they `perpetrated' the robbery, it matters not from what source they obtained the dangerous or deadly weapon in question." Wallace, 97 P.2d at 257 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“for a fraction of a minute. About that time the other two appellants were through looting the cash drawer and were on their way out of the (service) station. One of the appellants told the complaining witness to sit on the floor for twenty minutes.”
