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

  1. “We reject Dowdell's contention that the confinement and movement of the victim in this case was not significantly independent of the crime of robbery. The movement of the manager from the well-lighted parking lot through the rear door into the building and the requirement that he stay out-of-sight below counter level in moving to and from the safe supports a jury finding that the movement and confinement served to lessen the risk of detection, Ayendes v. State, 385 So.2d 698 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980), and to facilitate the commission of the crime of robbery. Section 787.01(12)(a), Florida Statutes (1979). [emphasis added]”
