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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘An indictment which does not contain all the essential elements of the offense charged is defective.... ’ State v. Stone, 467 N.W.2d 905, 907 (S.D.1991). However, we have held failure to set out an essential element of an offense in the charging instrument is not always fatal. State v. Swallow, 350 N.W.2d 606, 609 (S.D.1984). ‘The defect is cured if the information sets forth the proper statute, the jury instructions set forth all the essential elements of the offense, and the State proves all the essential elements at trial.’ Stone, 467 N.W.2d at 907 (quoting Swallow, 350 N.W.2d at 609 ). Accord State v. Williams, 297 N.W.2d 491, 493 (S.D.1980); State v. Larson, 294 N.W.2d 801, 802 (S.D.1980).”
