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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`It is well settled that where contraband is found in a house the presumption is that such contraband was possessed by the head of the household. [Cits.] However, where others, not members of the defendant's household, live there and have equal access to the same, this rule cannot be applied.' [Cits.] `Merely finding contraband on premises occupied by a defendant is not sufficient to support a conviction if it affirmatively appears from the evidence that persons other than the defendant had equal opportunity to commit the crime.'[Cits.]”
