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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[I]t is impossible to determine whether the jury in reaching its decision may have considered acts allegedly occurring before [appellant’s fourteenth birthday]. As a result, we cannot determine that conviction for this multiple-act crime was based only on acts occurring after appellant became fourteen years of age. The conviction must therefore be reversed and the matter remanded for a new trial with evidence limited to the time after appellant reached the age of fourteen.”

2. “Appellant failed to appeal the [certification] order and therefore cannot attack the validity of the [certification] in this proceeding. Consequently, the [certification] must be considered a sufficient basis for the exercise of the district court’s subject matter jurisdiction.”

3. “Although the district court had jurisdiction to hear the matter, a criminal conviction cannot be based upon acts committed while appellant was under the age of fourteen. Children under that age are incapable of committing a crime.”
