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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““I instruct you that possession may be either exclusive or joint with another person, and if you find that defendant did not have the exclusive possession of said property, but that he had a joint possession with some other person or persons, or if you find beyond a reasonable doubt that W. H. Graves was jointly in possession of said liquor with the defendant, and that said liquor was an intoxicating liquor, and that defendant had knowledge that said liquor was placed in his home, then you must find the defendant guilty as charged.””
