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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]f two persons join in a common purpose to commit robbery, each of them, actually present, is not only guilty as a principal if the other commits that crime, but is also guilty of any other crimes committed by the others in pursuance of the common purpose to rob or as a natural and probable consequence thereof. In North Carolina, for a person to be guilty of a crime, it is not necessary that he himself do all of the acts necessary to constitute a crime. If two or more persons in North Carolina act together with a common purpose to commit armed robbery, each of them is held responsible for the actions of the others done in the commission of the crime.”
