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.
“"[T]he alleged thief, at some moment, must have obtained complete independent and absolute possession and control of the item, adverse to the rights of the owner. [Citation omitted.] If the possession is imperfect in any degree , or if the alleged thief's control is qualified by any circumstance, however slight, the severance is incomplete and the act is only an attempt." (Emphasis in original.)”
