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

1. ““ . . . We have consistently 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. . . . ””

2. ““ * * * We are of the opinion that the United States Supreme Court, in the landmark case of Griswold v. State of Connecticut, supra, does not prohibit the state’s regulation of sexual promiscuity or misconduct between non-married persons. We, therefore, find this proposition to be without merit.””

3. ““ * * * The Nevada Court faced the same contention as to the unconstitutional vagueness of their similar Crime Against Nature Statute in Hogan v. State, 84 Nev. 372 , 441 P.2d 620 , wherein the Court stated: ‘It should be noted that this court is not unique in this interpretation of the infamous crime against nature. At least twenty-one other states define it similarly. See 2 Wharton’s Criminal Law and Procedure, § 752, pg. 575. The phrase “infamous crime against nature” indicates an offense against nature and the laws of nature, and is as inherently understandable as are such words as “robbery”, “larceny”, “burglary”, and even “murder.” All are “words of art” disclosing their full meaning through interpretation, usage and application.’ “We concur with the opinion of the Nevada Court, and specifically rule that the language of 21 O.S. § 886 is definite in that men or women of common knowledge can reasonably understand the conduct prohibited by said statute.””
