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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As Wharton said in his classic treatise, in order for felony murder to apply, the killing: “must have been done in pursuance of the unlawful act, and not collateral to it. The killing must have had an intimate relation and close connection with the felony, and not be separate, distinct, and independent from it____ The death must have occurred as a result or outcome of the attempt to commit the felony. ” Wharton, Homicide § 126 (3d ed.1907) at 184.”
