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

1. “"Had the State rebutted the testimony of appellant by calling McKee or by some other credible evidence, the lower court properly would have declined to sustain the motion for directed verdict. However, where the evidence stands uncontradicted, undisputed, and unimpeached, even though the jury may not have believed the appellant, that testimony stands and makes out the defense. In cases such as this, prosecutors must have rebuttal evidence at hand to refute such testimony."”

2. “In the drug enforcement area, we encounter from time to time an egregious form of entrapment wherein persons acting for the state both “supply the controlled substance to the accused” and then “buy”it from him. In a long line of cases, we have made clear that we regard this a form of official misconduct which must be condemned and that, in the absence of a substantial showing of the defendant’s predisposition for drug trafficking, the courts must acquit.”
