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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Arkansas R.Crim.P. 36.21(b) provides: Failure to Question the Sufficiency of the Evidence. When there has been a trial by jury, the failure of a defendant to move for a directed verdict at the conclusion of the evidence presented by the prosecution and at the close of the case because of insufficiency of the evidence will constitute a waiver of any question pertaining to the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury verdict.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Andrews v. State · Cole v. State“The search and seizure clauses are restraints upon the government and its agents, not upon private individuals. The general corollary to this proposition is that the exclusionary rule is not intended as a restraint upon the acts of private individuals. (Cites omitted).”
