“continuous resistance to an ongoing attempt to effect his arrest,”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Gaines v. State · Dixon v. State“a critical difference between the words 'a' and 'any' in construing the legislative intent of a statute,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Defining the unit of prosecution by the number of officers involved in executing the legal duty would lead to an absurd result. Imagine an armed individual waiving his gun in the direction of the 100 officers unsuccessfully attempting to induce his surrender. Or imagine the motorist who contin ues ■ driving despite an order to pull-over, resulting in a chase involving 100 squad cars, each occupied by two officers. Is it reasonable to believe that the legislature contemplated the single acts of resistance to constitute 100 counts of resisting an officer with violence and 200 counts of resisting an officer without violence?””
