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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The facts of this case would lead a reasonable person to suspect that the de fendant committed the burglary but they are not sufficient to sustain the conviction. Circumstantial evidence can support a conviction for a crime only if it is consistent with guilt and inconsistent •with any reasonable hypothesis of innocence. Proof that the defendant’s fingerprint was on the broken window pane is not sufficient evidence of guilt because the expert witness was unable to exclude the possibility [that] the fingerprint was placed on the outside of the window.”
