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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[E]vidence ... shows that [the] defendants] originally received the [stolen items] on a single occasion. Therefore, but one offense of receiving stolen property is shown, although the goods were stolen from different sources, and the duality of the sentences, even though they are ordered to run concurrently, cannot be permitted to stand.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The single larceny rule provides that “the taking of property belonging to different owners at the same time and place constitutes but one larceny.” The rule is limited to situations in which the prosecution has not proved separate intents to steal and sufficiently different acts of conduct to constitute separate offenses.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the restitution award [must be] limited to the values of the actual items found to be part of the stolen goods that were received and concealed by [the defendants]. Id. (footnote omitted). In both cases the state conceded that the restitution awards were improper because the awards were not for losses”
