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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule in Webb v. State * * * and approved in Bishop v. State * * * is that where the State relies entirely upon circumstantial evidence for a conviction then the trial judge is in error if he does not charge on this fundamental. However, it was noted in Bishop v. State, supra., that this is not the rule where there is in the record direct evidence to sustain the contention of the State. In such a case a special request is necessary.” (Emphasis added.)”
