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 burden of persuasion comes into play only when the evidence is in and the Court finds itself in doubt as to the facts. The burden of persuasion entails more than merely producing evidence which would tend to put the court’s mind in a state of equilibrium with respect to whether a certain fact exists or not and if, at the close of the evidence, this is the situation, then the decision must go against the party who has the burden of persuasion in the particular issue in question. See McCormick, Evidence § 387 (1954). Johnson v. Barton, 251 F.Supp. 474, 476 (W.D.Va.1966)”
