2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Stump · Elson v. State“To express this rule in another way, the circumstantial evidence must be such as to exclude every reasonable theory consistent with the defendant’s innocence as to the particular crime charged. Also, if the evidence is suspectible of two reasonable interpretations, one of which points to the defendant’s guilt and the other to his innocence, it is your duty to adopt that interpretation which points to the defendant’s innocence, and reject the other which points to his guilt.”
