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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`[W]hether the evidence is sufficient to submit the issue to the jury is a question of law for the court and no element of discretion is involved.'”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is not sufficient for there to be merely a false representation, but the victim must have relied upon it. However, the false representation need not be the sole means of inducing the defrauded person to part with his money, but it is sufficient if such representation was believed and relied upon by such person and in some measure operated to induce him to part with his property.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Knutz · State v. KNUTZ“A trial court may not weigh the evidence to determine whether the necessary quantum has been produced to establish some proof of an element of the crime. It may only test or examine the sufficiency thereof. . . . The jury is the sole and exclusive judge of the weight of evidence, and of the credibility of witnesses. . . : . . . it is unnecessary for the court to be satisfied of the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It is only necessary for it to be satisfied that there is “substantial evidence” to support either the state’s case, or the particular' element in question. When that quantum of evidence has been presented, there is some proof of the element or crime in question and the motion in arrest of judgment must be denied.”
