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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This court has held in numerous cases that the possession of stolen property re cently after the larceny thereof, when unexplained, may be sufficient to warrant the jury in inferring the guilt of the party in whose possession it is found and whether such inference should be drawn is a fact exclusively for the jury. See Weber v. State, 29 Okl.Cr. 55 , 232 P. 446 ; also, Ballard v. State, 68 Okl.Cr. 39 , 95 P.2d 239 . We are of the opinion the trial court did not err in overruling the demurrer to the evidence.””
