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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'it is next to impossible to produce direct evidence of the exercise of undue influence over another person. Frequently the best evidence which can be offered ... is circumstantial, tending only to support inferences which can be drawn therefrom.'”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“The refusal to give these charges was not error. As we have so often stated, the scintilla rule prevails in this state and a mere spark of evidence or inference to be drawn from any evidence in support of the theory of the case against whom the affirmative charge is sought is sufficient to compel the denial of the affirmative charge.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"The Court charges the Jury that there is no evidence in this case that the defendant has been convicted of Robbing Roberts Store and stealing a rifle from Mr. Hartline, and should not be considered *Page 906 by you in your deliberation in this case."”
