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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) No one saw Wooldridge at or in the vicinity of the bank; (2) no fingerprints of Wooldridge were discovered at the bank; (3) there was no loot or stolen goods from the bank found in either vehicle, although a large quantity of tools commonly used by burglars was found in the Oldsmobile of Wooldridge; (4) said tools were not shown to have been used in the burglary; (5) there was no direct evidence of any kind linking Wooldridge with the burglary of the bank.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Assuming that everything testified to by the state witnesses is absolutely true, there still remains a reasonable hypothesis other than that Wooldridge burglarized the bank or in some manner aided and abetted in said offense. Upon the record as made, when the state rested the defendant's motion for a directed verdict should have been sustained.”
