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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the independent facts and circumstances, taken all together, are, `in the opinion of both the court and the jury, strong, that is, cogent, powerful, forcible, calculated to make a deep or effectual impression upon the mind,' then the direct testimony may be said to be `strongly corroborated.' Hernandez v. State, 18 Tex.App. 134 [ 18 Tex.Crim. 134 ], 51 Am.Rep. 295 . We think the trial court was justified in concluding that the testimony of Mrs. Sharpe that she was not served with citation was strongly corroborated.”
