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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Larceny] means, stealing. It’s called, in some of the statutes, theft, but everybody understands what the word stealing means. They [Frederick and Inman] are charged with having the intent to steal. ... Now, what is theft? In Florida, theft or larceny is defined as knowingly and unlawfully obtaining or using or endeavoring to obtain or use, endeavoring to obtain or use the property of another and it must be done so with the intent to either deprive the victim of his right to the property or any benefit from it or to appropriate the property of the victim to the defendant’s own use or the use of any other person not entitled thereto.”

The true test is whether the underlying felony has been defined sufficiently to insure the defendant a fair trial.”
