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

1. “Henley and his co-defendant not only committed armed robbery against the Pizza Hut restaurant, but also robbed five individuals, placing each of them in immediate fear of injury with a deadly weapon and depriving each of them of his or her personal property. Under these circumstances, Henley’s six count indictment charging six separate crimes of armed robbery against multiple victims, despite their common nucleus, is indicative of Henley’s intent to rob each person[,] and therefore, multiple convictions or counts for multiple victims do not violate Henley’s protection under double jeopardy.”
