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.
““At least 13 chickens were stolen and there was no reasonable room for a difference of opinion as to their value. The uncontradicted evidence respecting the value of the stolen chickens being to the effect that they were worth more than $2, it was not necessary or proper to .instruct the jury on petit larceny. Divine v. Commonwealth, 236 Ky. 579 , 33 S. W. 2d 627 , Goodin v. Commonwealth, 235 Ky. 349 , 31 S. W. 2d 380 .””
