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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““These denials and explanations were for the jury, who, upon proper instructions, have chosen to disbelieve him, and have found not only that the testimony offered by the state was true, but that the facts and circumstances were such as to be inconsistent with any other rational conclusion than that the prisoner was guilty of the charge. . . . The testimony offered seems to have been sufficient to satisfy the understanding and consciences of the jury that the defendant was guilty. Under these circumstances the conviction must stand.” (pp. 305, 306.)”
