Most-quoted passages

“no reasonable jury could have reasonably concluded that defendant merely intended to inflict great bodily harm on the defendant.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“A. Any person who, having a specific intent to commit a crime, does or omits an act for the purpose of and tending directly toward the accomplishing of his object is guilty of an attempt to commit the offense intended; and it shall be immaterial whether, under the circumstances, he would have actually accomplished his purpose. B. Mere preparation to commit a crime shall not be sufficient to constitute an attempt; but lying in wait with a dangerous weapon with the intent to commit a crime, or searching for the intended victim with a dangerous weapon with the intent to commit a crime, shall be sufficient to constitute an attempt to commit the offense intended.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Second degree murder is the killing of a human being: (1) When the offender has a specific intent to kill or to inflict great bodily harm; or (2) When the offender is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of... armed robbery, first degree robbery, or simple robbery, even though he has no intent to kill or to inflict great bodily harm.”
