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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the trial court is required to interpret the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, drawing all reasonable inferences in the State’s favor. The defendants’ motion must be denied if the State has offered substantial evidence against defendant of every essential element of the crime charged. ‘Substantial evidence’ is defined as that amount of relevant evidence that a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. The test of the sufficiency of evidence to withstand dismissal is the same whether the State’s evidence is direct, circumstantial, or a combination of the two.”
