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

“` how the property of another is acquired is no longer important.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 736 So. 2d 77 - Jackson v. State · 529 So. 2d 1217 - DN v. State
“Although the State must prove intent just as any other element of a crime, Uber v. State, 382 So.2d 1321 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980), a defendant's mental intent is hardly ever subject to direct proof. Instead, the State must establish the defendant's intent (and a jury must reasonably attribute such intent) based on the surrounding circumstances in the case. Keeping in mind the test to be applied to a motion for judgment of acquittal, a trial court should rarely, if ever, grant a motion for judgment of acquittal based on the state's failure to prove mental intent.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage
e.g. Hardwick v. State
“[U]nder the present theft statute, how the property of another is acquired is no longer important. Thus, regardless of how the property is acquired, if the defendant has the requisite intent, he is guilty of the crime of theft.”
