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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When examining for the sufficiency of the evidence, our role is to “accept as true all evidence whether circumstantial or direct, tending to prove [appellant] guilty together with all reasonable inferences supportive of the verdict.” Additionally, we must “disregard those portions of the record contrary to the verdict, mindful that our function is not to weigh the evidence but to determine ‘whether there was sufficient evidence from which reasonable persons could have found [appellant] guilty as charged.’ ””
