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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The function of the trial or appellate court in reviewing a sufficiency question is to determine whether there is “substantial evidence” to support either the state’s case or the particular element involved. (2) In considering the evidence, we must assume the truth of the state’s evidence and view it most strongly against the defendant, allowing the state the benefit of all reasonable inferences. (3) Where the case is based entirely upon circumstantial evidence, the trial or appellate court’s function is not to determine whether the circumstances are consistent only with the hypothesis that the accused is guilty. Such determination is for the jury. The court’s only function is to determine whether there is “substantial evidence” tending to establish circumstances on which a finding of guilt may be predicated.”
