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 67 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The possession, in point of time, should be so close to the theft as to render it unlikely that the possessor could have acquired the property honestly.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he State . . . must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant took property belonging to Phillip W. Blake and that he carried it away from the place where it was lawfully kept, that is the dwelling house of Phillip W. Blake, [and] that the owner did not consent to the taking and carrying away of the property .... . . . The law is that “If and when it is established that a building has been broken into and entered and that the merchandise — and that merchandise has been stolen therefrom, the recent possession of such stolen merchandise raises presumptions of fact that the possessor is guilty of the larceny and of the breaking and entering.” ... I charge you that if you find from the evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt, that on or about the 10th day of February 1971, the defendant Maylon Theo Whitley, did take and carry away property, personal property, belonging to Phillip Blake, without the consent of the owner, Phillip Blake, from his dwelling house, after a breaking and entering or entering, with the intent to steal said property and that he was not entitled to take it; then it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty of felonious larceny .... [Emphasis supplied.]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““The denomination of the bills found on the defendant, and Mr. Steele’s evidence with respect to his identity, were sufficient to go to the jury on both counts in the indictment.””
