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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The appellant's repeated hitting and kicking of the victim clearly constitutes battery as defined by Section 784.03(1), Florida Statutes. Considering the severity of the injuries suffered by the victim as testified to by the doctors, the evidence would also be sufficient to show "great bodily harm," which will support a conviction of aggravated battery under Section 784.045(1)(a), Florida Statutes. Defense counsel suggested at trial that battery or aggravated battery were underlying felonies sufficient to support a third-degree murder finding. This court has so recognized. The error in failing to give the charge is reversible, not harmless.”
