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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Four of the felonies for which Peterson was convicted aggravated assault with a firearm, armed robbery with a firearm, armed burglary with a firearm, and aiding an escape while armed contain the element essential to the fifth offense of displaying a firearm while committing a felony. Thus, the presence of a firearm during the commission of the foregoing felonies forecloses, under either Blockburger or section 775.021(4)(a), the separate offense of displaying a firearm.”
