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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]lthough the judge did not state specifically that proof includes the requirement that the defendant must know one of his companions is armed, when viewed as a whole, the instructions repeatedly emphasized not just that the defendant must share the intent of the assailants but also (1) that the defendant must 'knowingly participate[ ]' 'in the commission ... of the armed robbery, with the intent required to commit an armed robbery,' and (2) that the defendant's intent could be inferred 'from his knowledge of the circumstances and any subsequent participation in the crime.'”
