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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This court has, in some instances, in the exercise of its inherent power to prevent injustice, set aside verdicts of guilt not warranted by the evidence, in spite of a failure on the part of the defendant to take proper steps in the trial court to entitle him to a consideration in this court of the question of the sufficiency of the evidence. See State v. Garcia, 19 N.M. 414 , 143 P. 1012 ; State v. Armijo, 25 N.M. 666 , 187 P. 553 ; State v. Taylor, 32 N.M. 163 , 252 P. 984 ; State v. Berry, 36 N.M. 318 , 14 P. 2d 434 . We are not convinced, however, that the circumstances of the case at bar are such as to zvarrant interference by this court zmth the conclusion reached by the jury." (Emphasis ours.)”
