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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But the general rules of evidence do not apply in a case of this kind. As said in the recent case of Ratliff v. Ratliff, 298 Ky. 715 , 183 S.W.2d 949 , the rule is that, where there is opportunity for access, it will be presumed that a child born in wedlock is legitimate, and the presumption is so great it cannot be overcome except by evidence of the strongest character and so convincing as to remove the question of a reasonable doubt of its legitimacy.””
