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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The only question presented upon the appeal is whether the evidence was sufficient to connect the appellant with the robbery. The jury heard the testimony as to the positive identification, and heard the witnesses say that, on the two prior occasions, they had not been positive, and it was for them to determine whether they would accept the positive identification testimony or disregard it. This court cannot weigh the testimony and hold that the jury had no right to believe and accept the evidence of positive identification.”
