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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[A]n insufficient-evidence claim involves the following sequential steps: 1. Identify a challenged factual proposition needed to sustain the conviction; 2. Identify all favorable evidence in the record tending to prove that proposition; and 3. Show why such evidence, when considered along with its reasonable inferences , is so non-probative that no reasonable fact-finder could believe the proposition.”
