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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The accused was found, without explanation, inside of the lumber yard with the testimony of three witnesses indicating the top of the gate fence had been 'bent down,' a condition apparently not existing prior to the entry. In RoadkAs, supra, the court held the severance of three strands of wire at the top of a fence was sufficient to constitute a breaking. Likewise, considering the Oklahoma rule which generally sets forth a burglary may be an act of physical force, however slight, by which an obstruction to entry is forcibly removed, the evidence of force applied to the gate was sufficient to constitute a breaking."”
