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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[S]trict standards of logical consistency need not be applied to jury verdicts in criminal cases.” State v. Swanson, 225 N.W.2d 283, 285 (N.D.1974). Here, [the victim] testified that the gun [the defendant] used belonged to [the defendant]. [The victim] also testified that he did not bring the gun into the house. The jury thus heard evidence that [the defendant] owned the gun that he used to shoot [the victim] and that the gun was in [the defendant’s] own bedroom in his own home. This is substantial evidence showing that [the defendant] knowingly possessed the gun prior to the altercation with [the victim]. Therefore, there is no logical inconsistency in the verdicts.”
