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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[E]vidence [that golf clubs locked in the victim's car at 8:00 a.m. were found in the defendant's possession at noon] clearly gives rise to the inference that [the] defendant was the thief and stole the clubs by breaking and entering the car. The State's evidence was sufficient to go to the jury and to support the judgment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]he possession, in point of time, should be so close to the theft as to render it unlikely that the possessor could have acquired the property honestly.”
