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

1. ““It is the province of the jury or the trial court, sitting as a jury, to determine the preponderance of the evidence. However, on appeal we apply the substantial evidence rule in testing the sufficiency of the evidence to support a finding and verdict and, in doing so, we review the evidence and all inferences deducible therefrom in the light most favorable to the appellee in support of the verdict. Fanning v. Hembree Oil Co., 245 Ark. 825 , 434 S.W. 2d 822 (1968). Nor do we disturb a finding of fact merely because the testimony is in conflict. On appeal it must appear to us that ‘there is no reasonable probability that the incident occurred as found by the [jury] trial court sitting as a jury.’ Fanning v. Hembree Oil Co., supra.””
