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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n sum, the elements of aggravated robbery as presented in this case are: (1) while in the course of committing theft; (2) with the intent to obtain and maintain control of property owned by W.H. Thurston; (3) with the intent to deprive W.H. Thurston of that property; (4) without the effective consent of W.H. Thurston; (5) caused serious bodily injury to another. The Penal Code makes it clear that theft is an integral part of the offense of aggravated robbery. In the instant case only one theft of one person occurred. Thus, only one aggravated robbery can have taken place. Applicants appropriated property belonging to W.H. Thur-ston. The fact that they assaulted more than one person in the course of that theft does not mean that more than one aggravated robbery took place. Perhaps applicants could have been indicted for aggravated assault with respect to Mary Alice Thurston but they should not have been indicted and convicted for an additional aggravated robbery.”
