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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * it is not essential to the commission of the offense that the accused person own the intoxicants, or that his possession or control be exclusive. If the defendant had any power or command over the liquor found in her house, or had the right to exercise actual control or possession or management, whether alone or jointly with her son or roomer, or to take it into actual possession with the intention that it should be sold, she was keeping it within the meaning of the statute. Combs v. Commonwealth, 162 Ky. 86 , 172 S.W. 101 ; Young v. Commonwealth, 194 Ky. 561 , 239 S.W. 1042 ; Daniels v. Commonwealth, 212 Ky. 161 , 278 S.W. 577 ; 48 C.J.S. Intoxicating Liquors § 223.””
