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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An examination of this enactment [§ 812.019(1), Fla. Stat. (1979)] reveals nothing to support the conclusion that persons could be convicted under its provisions for conduct that is essentially innocent in nature. The terms `traffic' and `stolen property' are defined in sections 812.012(6) and (7), from which it is clear that the statute applies only to certain acts relating to the disposition of `property that has been the subject of any criminally wrongful taking.' The term `endeavors' has recently been construed by us in the context of a closely related provision to mean `an overt act manifesting criminal intent.' (citation omitted)." Id. at 1143.”
