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 85 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The required evidence test is that which is minimally necessary to secure a conviction for each ... offense. If each offense requires proof of a fact which the other does not, or in other words, if each offense contains an element which the other does not, the offenses are not the same for double jeopardy purposes even though arising from the same conduct of episode. But where only one offense requires proof of an additional fact, so that all elements of one offense are present in the other, the offenses are deemed to be the same for double jeopardy purposes.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he gist of the [defendant's] conduct was the unlawful resistance to the arrest the officers were attempting to effect. The [defendant's] conduct was continuous and uninterrupted and the officers had not abandoned their pursuit of [him]. . . . [T]he [defendant] was attempting to flee the hospital, but was not under arrest at that time. The factual support, found by the trial court, for the resisting arrest charges relates solely to the [defendant's] conduct in the parking lot. The trial court concluded specifically that "there was a resisting arrest, but not at the hospital, but at the parking lot" as to the first count, and that the second resisting arrest count was based upon, "again, . . . events at the parking lot and not the hospital." The [defendant's] physical refusal to submit to the officers' directives was uninterrupted. Moreover, there was no break, for any appreciable time, in the sequence of events, which could categorize the counts charged as separate and distinct acts.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"gist of the offense [in Warren ] . . . [is] the felonious taking of the property [the act itself]. We do not see how the legal quality of the act is in any manner affected by the fact, that the property stolen, instead of belonging to one person is the several property of different persons."”
