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 only other complaint is as to the severity of the punishment. That is not a question for this court. When the evidence is sufficient to take the case to the jury1 and uphold the verdict, the punishment which shall hie inflicted is solely within the discretion of the jury. Baughman v. Commonwealth, 206 Ky. 441 , 267 S. W. 231 .””
