These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Habitual criminal statute, Penal Code, Art. 6, Sections 1817 and 1818, O. S. 1931, 21 Okla. St. Ann. §§ 51 and 52, does not create or define a new or independent crime, but describes circumstances wherein one found guilty of a specific crime may be more severely penalized because of his previous conviction, as alleged and found. ‘Habitual criminality’ is a state and not a crime.””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage““If there is a. conflict in the evidence or different inferences may be drawn therefrom, it is the province of the jury to weigh the evidence and determine the facts; and their determination should not be interfered with unless it appears that such determination was not sustained by sufficient evidence or was influenced in some way by passion or prejudice.””
