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 99 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(A) Where the same conduct by defendant can be construed to constitute two or more allied offenses of similar import, the indictment or information may contain counts for all such offenses, but the defendant may be convicted of only one.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage“Comparing the elements of these crimes, we do not find that the elements correspond to such a degree that the commission of one offense will necessarily result in the commission of the other. For example, one may trespass in an occupied structure with the purpose to commit a felony other than a theft offense or without using or threatening the immediate use of force and be guilty of aggravated burglary but not robbery. Likewise, one may use or threaten the use of force in attempting or committing a theft offense in a place other than an occupied structure and be guilty of robbery but not aggravated burglary. Therefore, aggravated burglary under R.C. 2911.11 (A)(3) and robbery under R.C. 2911.02 are not allied offenses of similar import, and Turner was properly convicted and sentenced for both crimes.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“These two offenses do have some common elements in that * * * burglary may * * * involve the purpose to commit a theft offense. However, completion of the theft offense is not a necessary element because the purpose to commit any felony will suffice to supply the requisite intent. Therefore burglary and theft are not allied offenses. See, Mitchell , supra.”
