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.

  1. “Because a verdict of “guilty” necessarily means the jury found evidence of that on which it was authorized to convict, the sufficiency of the evidence is measured by the charge that was given. It follows that if evidence does not conform to the instruction given, it is insufficient as a matter of law to support the only verdict of “guilty” which was authorized, [footnote omitted]. [Emphasis in original]. Under the trial court’s charge in the instant case, the only verdict authorized in view of the evidence was “not guilty;” restated, had the jury followed the trial court’s instructions, appellant would have been acquitted.”
