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

1. “"1. A defendant may be convicted of an offense included in an offense charged in the ... information. An offense is so included when "(1) It is established by proof of the same or less than all the facts required to establish the commission of the offense charged; or "(2) It is specifically denominated by statute as a lesser degree of the offense charged; or "(3) It consists of an attempt to commit the offense charged or to commit an offense otherwise included therein." "2. The court shall not be obligated to charge the jury with respect to an included offense unless there is basis for a verdict acquitting the defendant of the offense charged and convicting him of the included offense.””
