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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“"`In a prosecution for first degree robbery, the robbery victim does not actually have to see a weapon to establish the element of force; his or her reasonable belief that the robber is armed is sufficient. Dinkins v. State , 584 So.2d 932 (Ala.Cr.App. 1991); Breedlove v. State , 482 So.2d 1277 (Ala.Cr.App. 1985). The test to determine whether a person reasonably believes that an object is a deadly weapon is a "subjective" one. James v. State , 549 So.2d 562 (Ala.Cr.App. 1989). "It focuses on the `reaction of the victim to the threats of the robber.' State v. Hopson , 122 Wis.2d 395 , 362 N.W.2d 166 , 169 (1984)." 482 So.2d at 1281 .'”
