Most-quoted passages

“'s sufficiently inconclusive or inherently improbable that reasonable minds must have entertained a reasonable doubt'”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is the exclusive function of the jury to weigh the evidence and to determine credibility of the witnesses. So long as there is some evidence, including reasonable inferences, from which findings of all the requisite elements of the crime can be reasonably made, our inquiry stops.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Evidence of (1) furnishing or offering or promising to furnish, or (2) accepting or offering or promising to accept, a valuable consideration in compromising or attempting to compromise a claim which was disputed as to either validity or amount, is not admissible to prove liability for or invalidity of the claim or its amount. Evidence of conduct or statements made in compromise negotiations is likewise not admissible.... This rule also does not require exclusion when the evidence is offered for another purpose, such as proving bias or prejudice of a witness, negativing a contention of undue delay, or proving an effort to obstruct a criminal investigation or prosecution.”
