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.
“To prove the offense of robbery, as a Class B felony, the State presented evidence that [the defendant] robbed [the victim] while armed with a deadly weapon. That deadly weapon was a handgun. In addition, [the defendant] failed to present evidence that he had a license to carry the handgun. [[Image here]] In this case, distinct evidentiary facts were used to prove that [the defendant] committed robbery while armed with a handgun, while a lack of evidentiary facts was used to prove that [the defendant] did not have a license to carry that handgun. [The defendant] has failed to demonstrate a reasonable possibility that the same evidentiary facts may have been used to establish the essential elements of each challenged offense.”
