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.

Contradictions and discrepancies, even in the State’s evidence, are for the jury to resolve and do not warrant nonsuit. Only the evidence favorable to the State is considered, and defendant’s evidence relating to matters of defense or defendant’s evidence in conflict with that of the State is not considered. ...” State v. Everette, 284 N.C. 81, 84 , 199 S.E. 2d 462, 465 (1973).”
