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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Court held, at page 61, that Defrese was guilty of larceny, and stated the rule to be that ‘when it is made apparent that some stratagem or artifice has been fraudulently used to acquire the possession’ of the property intended to be fraudulently appropriated, then the offense of larceny is complete” 205 Tenn. at 601 , 329 S.W.2d at 825 .”
