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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“basically pits the plaintiff, Mr. Muslow, and Mr. O'Kelley against each other in what amounts of (sic) a "swearing match." Each is a well-respected gentleman of the community whose credibility is of the highest degree. We have no reason to accept the word of one over the other. Where the unsupported testimony of a party having the burden of establishing a particular fact is contradicted by the testimony of the other party and the credibility of neither is attacked, in the absence of corroborating evidence or circumstances, it cannot be said that the party having the burden of proof has sustained that burden.”
