The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““Neither this Court nor the Court of Criminal Appeals is free to re-evaluate the evidence as it pleases. A guilty verdict by the jury, approved by the trial judge, accredits the testimony of the witnesses for the State and resolves all conflicts in favor of the theory of the State.” State v. Grace, Tenn., 493 S.W.2d 474, 476 (1973); Shiflet v. State, 216 Tenn. 365 , 392 S.W.2d 676 (1965).”
