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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] defendant may be convicted of an offense that is included in any offense with which he is formally charged. An offense is so included when: (a) It is established by proof of the same or less than all the facts required to establish the commission of the offense charged[.]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“a strict statutory `elements' approach ... that looks to the elements of the main and lesser crimes as set out by the applicable statutes, rather than ... the charge or the evidence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“First-degree assault can be an included offense of attempted murder if the missing element which prevents the murder from being consummated is not a necessary element of first degree assault. . . . If the jury believes that the defendant intended to kill the victim, he can be convicted of attempted murder. If on the other hand, they believe that he did not intend death but only intended to injure the victim, he could be convicted of first-degree assault.”
