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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our law is well-established that courts may take judicial notice of agency regulations adopted pursuant to law, and that it is not necessary to formally introduce the regulations into evidence for the court to do so. Arkansas courts have long taken judicial notice of the State Health Department’s regulations classifying controlled substances into particular schedules. As observed in Johnson [v. State, 6 Ark.App. 78 , 638 S.W.2d 686 (1982) ], the Director of the State Health Department is given authority to designate controlled substances pursuant to Ark.Code Ann. § 5-64-201 (Repl.1993). Section 5-64-201 requires the Director’s schedules to be adopted in accordance with the Arkansas Administrative Procedure Act, Ark. Code Ann. §§ 25-15-201 to -214 (Repl. 1992 & Supp.1993). Thus, the schedule of controlled substances is a regulation promulgated by a state agency pursuant to statute and in accordance with state procedural requirements. The schedule or agency regulation is a part of the substantive law the trial court must determine and then apply to the facts of the case before it.”

A jury, conceivably could have disregarded [the State’s proof], acquitted Whitener of delivery, and found her guilty of the less serious charge of possession, but any rational basis for such a verdict is not readily apparent.”
