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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... Thus we conclude that not only did the State fail to provide evidence establishing the appellant's exclusive or joint possession and control of the fruits of the burglary of the Pea Patch, but failed to produce any evidence tending to connect him to the commission of the burglary of the Pea Patch. The Court of Criminal Appeals in Rubio v. State, [supra], held that corroborating testimony regarding possession by an accused of recently stolen property must show exclusive possession by the accused. Such is not shown by this record. The mere presence of the appellant in the company of [an accomplice] shortly after the commission of the offense is not in and of itself sufficient corroboration to support the conviction in this case. Meyers v. State, 626 S.W.2d 778 (Tex.Cr.App.1982).””
