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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Tahantan] in effect asks us to reweigh the evidence to place greater credence in [his] justification defense than did the jury. . . . This court does not weigh the evidence or assess the credibility of witnesses; rather, we determine whether the evidence, viewed in a light most favorable to the verdict, was legally sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia[, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979)]. The record reveals ample . . . evidence from which a rational trier of fact could have found [Tahantan] guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of [battery].”
