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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“neither reason nor authority [supports the rule] that one who commits murder during the perpetration of a felony named [in the felony-murder statute] cannot or should not be convicted and punished for both the offense of murder ... and for the named felony. Nothing in the statutory definitions of [felony] murder ... and of the felonies listed in [the felony-murder statute] indicates a legislative intent that conviction and punishment for both offenses should not be permitted.”
