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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “When addressing the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict, this Court, as a reviewing court, does not pass on the weight of the evidence. Rather, we review the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. On appeal of a conviction based on a jury verdict we examine the evidence in a light most favorable to support that verdict. We resolve all conflicts in favor of the verdict. We sustain the verdict when a rational trier of fact, viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the verdict, could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. 2”
