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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Defendant's] explanation ... was evidently not believed by the jury. They chose to believe that he appropriated ... money belonging to the City and sought to veil his criminal conduct behind an alleged... situation ... which allowed unknown persons an opportunity to steal the money without his knowledge. [cite omitted]. Circumstantial evidence is relied on by the state to prove that the appellant converted the allegedly embezzled funds to his own use... The evidence submitted to the jury in regard to the financial condition of the appellant, his salary or income and his financial obligations, together with the testimony of all the witnesses, was sufficient, if the jury believed it, to sustain the verdict.”
