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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We note in passing that some of our opinions refer to the crime defined in G.S. 14-39A as ‘aggravated kidnapping.’ This is a misnomer. The proper term for the crime there defined is ‘kidnapping.’ Subsection (b) of the statute states the punishment for kidnapping as well as a lesser punishment when certain mitigating circumstances appear.””
