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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The test is not merely whether or not the offense is a lesser included offense of the basic offense charged, but rather is whether or not there is evidence which will create a reasonable doubt as to the greater offense and support a conviction of the lesser included offense."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Wiedrich · State v. Tweed“While the facilitation and accomplice statutes both use words having the same meaning, such as “assistance”' and “aids,” the main difference lies in the context in which they are used. The accomplice statute makes it a crime for any person “with intent that an offense be committed, ... commands, induces, procures, or aids the other to commit it” whereas the facilitation-statute makes it a crime if a person knowingly provides substantial assistancé to a person intending to commit a 'felony, and that person in fact commits the crime contemplated. A major distinction exists between the two statutes. Under the accomplice statute, the1 giving of aid with intent that the offense be committed is the key element, whereas under the facilitation statute knowingly providing assistance without intent to commit an offense to a person who intends to commit a felony and actually commits the crime contemplated, is the key element and difference.”
