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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The question of the dependency of a child is a fact question, which in jury cases must be submitted to the jury if the evidence is controverted, or is sufficiently contradictory to raise a doubt, or if the only testimony comes from an interested witness. The finding of the jury is binding on the court unless it is contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence.””
