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. ““The sole proposition of error contends that the verdict was not sustained by sufficient evidence. It has long been the law of this State that a judgment of the Court trying a criminal case without a jury, reasonably supported by evidence will not be disturbed. Bullington v. State, 38 Okl.Cr. 214 , 259 P. 876 (1927). We have repeatedly held that where there is competent evidence in the record from which the jury could reasonably conclude that the defendant was guilty as charged, the Court of Criminal Appeals will not interfere with the verdict even though there is a sharp conflict in the evidence and different inferences may be drawn therefrom, since it is the exclusive province of the jury to' weigh the evidence and determine the facts. Gray v. State, Okl.Cr., 467 P.2d 518 . In the instant case the defendant elected to be tried by a Judge rather than a jury. The judge thus had the same province of the jury to weigh the evidence and determine the facts.””
