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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he reasonableness of the defendant’s version of the case was a question for the jury. In a conviction based on circumstantial evidence, where reasonable men might differ, and where there is substantial, competent evidence to support the verdict, the issue of whether the evidence fails to exclude all reasonable hypotheses of innocence is for the jury to determine.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Stone v. State“We are satisfied that the reasonableness of the defendant's version of the case was a question for the jury.... Here, taking the evidence in a light most favorable to the state, there was competent evidence from which the jury could reasonably infer guilt and reject the appellant's explanation of how the shooting occurred.”
