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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[d]efendant's physical proximity, if any, to the substance, does not by itself permit [an] inference that the [d]efendant was aware of its presence or had the power or intent to control its disposition or use. Such [an] inference may be drawn only from this or other circumstances such as efforts at concealment or behavior suggesting fear of discovery, which you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.”
