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

  1. “A conspiracy entails an intelligent and deliberate agreement between the parties. But the state is not required to prove the existence of a formal express agreement. It is sufficient if the minds of the parties meet understandingly to bring about an intelligent and deliberate agreement to commit the offense.... This may be inferred from the acts committed and the circumstances surrounding the defendant’s involvement. Understandably then, a conviction for conspiracy may, and often will, rest solely on circumstantial evidence.”

  2. “Resolution of conflicts arising from the testimony offered at trial is exclusively within the province of the trier of fact.... [Parker's] briefs essentially enjoin us to ignore this longstanding principle and adopt [his] interpretation of the evidence adduced at trial. This we may not do.”
