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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Unquestionably, there are times under an indictment for robbery when the jury should be charged as to some of the lesser included offenses. It is equally true that there are other robbery cases in which the jury should not be instructed as to any lesser included offense.... [Wjhether a charge as to a lesser included offense should be given is dependent upon whether the evidence in the case, according to any reasonable theory, presents a controversy whether the particular conduct constitutes robbery on the one hand or the lesser included offense on the other. If so, such a charge should be given; if not, it should not be giyen.””
