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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“may not move for verdict in arrest of judgment based on the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the allegations in the indictment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Follin · State v. Taylor“There is no precedent in this State for such action. This is not a case in which a trial judge has granted a new trial upon the facts (a power which he admittedly has) but rather one in which a trial judge had entered a verdict of not guilty in the face of conflicting evidence (a power he has never had in this jurisdiction) .... To affirm this decision is to grant unprecedented license to trial judges to invade the area where the jury system has been deemed most effective— that is, in assessing the truthfulness of fellow human beings testifying under oath.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Taylor“Whe[n] there is competent evidence to sustain a jury's verdict, the trial [court] may not substitute [its] judgment for that of the jury and overturn that verdict.”
