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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have held that it is fundamental error for the court to fail to instruct on the probative force of circumstantial evidence if the prosecution must rely exclusively thereon for conviction. State v. Tigue, 95 Ariz. 45 , 386 P.2d 402 . Conversely, the failure to instruct on the ■effect of circumstantial evidence is not fundamental error if the prosecution does not rely exclusively thereon. State v. Maynard, 101 Ariz. 239 , 418 P.2d 576 . Where the trial court is requested to instruct on the weight to be accorded •circumstantial evidence, the authorities are fairly uniform in holding that it may be refused if there is direct evidence of the elements of the offense and the circumstantial evidence is only incidental and corroborative. [Cases cited] 104 Ariz., at 337 , 452 P.2d, at 511 .”
