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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The opinion of the Court of Appeals then discusses at length the probative value of the showing of the bare possession of money by an accused, without more, and apparently concludes that the evidence of Moore’s possession of money in a paper sack the day following the burglary, standing alone, was insufficient to connect Davis with the burglary. With this conclusion, we are likewise in accord. It would seem that these conclusions by the Court of Appeals would, have necessitated a reversal of the judgment, since Moore’s testimony was the only remaining evidence.””
