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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whether a person who is accused of burglary entered another’s residence or other building with the intent to commit a theft is a matter for the jury to say, under the facts and circumstances proved. As a general rule the state must, of necessity, rely on circumstantial evidence in proving intent. And the fact that the defendant may have failed in accomplishing his apparent purpose does not render a finding of burglary improper. ... A jury may reject a defendant’s explanation for his unauthorized entry where that explanation is inconsistent with other direct and circumstantial evidence. 9”
