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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) Any., .contractor.. .who with intent to defraud shall use the proceeds of any payment made to him on account of improving certain real property for any other purpose than to pay for labor or service performed on or materials furnished by his order for this specific improvement while any amount for which he may be or become liable for such labor, services, or materials remains unpaid commits a felony... (b) A failure to pay for material or labor furnished for such property improvements shall be prima facie evidence of intent to defraud.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[s]ubsection (b) of the statute provides that ‘[a] failure to pay for material or labor furnished for such property improvements shall be prima facie evidence of intent to defraud.’ But the presumption created by the statute is a permissive presumption, not a conclusive one. ‘[T]he duty still devolved upon the state to prove every element of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt,’ including the specific intent to defraud, (citations omitted),”
