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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We do not in any way believe that a person of ordinary intelligence would not understand which type of conduct is proscribed by Section 30-9-11.... As to a child under thirteen, even though a case might be hypothesized which would fit within the terms of the statute but for which there should be no criminal liability, we do not think it ‘encourages arbitrary and erratic arrests and convictions.’ (Citations omitted.) Papackristou v. City of Jacksonville, 405 U.S. 156 [ 92 S.Ct. 839 , 31 L.Ed.2d 110 ] ... (1972). ‘Unlawful’ has been defined by this Court as ‘without excuse [or] justification,’ Territory v. Gonzales, 14 N.M. 31, 38 , 89 P. 250 (1907), and the use of that term by the statute does not render the statute void for vagueness in these circumstances.”
