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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The jury, sitting as the trier of fact, had the distinct opportunity to view each individual witness' demeanor, listen to their respective testimony, and assess credibility. Their firsthand knowledge of the witness' testimony is an immeasurable advantage when compared to our limited review within the four corners of the cold record... Since the record fully supports the jury findings, this court will not engage in reevaluating the credibility of witnesses and reweighing the other evidence adduced at trial.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. McArthur · State v. Davis“‘When the issue of sufficiency of evidence is raised on appeal, the critical inquiry is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It is the province of the jury and not that of the appellate court to assess the credibility of witnesses. The appellate court cannot reevaluate credibility of witnesses and then proceed to overturn a factual determination of guilt. Where a trier of fact has made a rational credibility determination, an appellate court cannot disturb it on review.” State v. Pontiff, 604 So.2d 71, 75 (La.App. 3 Cir.1992). (citations omitted).”
