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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[I]t is clear to this Court that by the specific use of ‘armed’ as a limiting adjective to the element of robbery under Section 701.1, ¶ 2, the Legislature did not intend to include all forms of robbery — i. e., robbery by force or fear under Section 791 — within the first degree murder statute. It appears to this Court that a homicide which occurs during robbery by force or fear is within the statutory prohibition of second degree murder, 21 O.S. Supp.1973, § 701.2, ¶ 3, which is punishable by an indeterminate sentence from ten (10) years to life imprisonment.””
