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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where the evidence ... is partially direct and partially circumstantial, it is not necessary to give a circumstantial evidence instruction and the test as to sub-missibility is not that of a purely circumstantial evidence case. In deciding sub-missibility we accept the State’s evidence as true and give the State the benefit of all reasonable inferences deductible therefrom.””

Porter“An inconsistent verdict among several charges does not require a reversal provided there is sufficient evidence to support the jury’s finding of guilt [on each count considered independently].... “Juries frequently convict on some counts and acquit on others not because they are unconvinced of guilt but simply because of compassion and compromise.””
