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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The State failed to produce sufficient evidence to establish the essential element of entry. No witness saw him enter or cany any objects from the house, and the State offered no physical evidence showing his actual presence in the house.... While a jury might possibly infer entry from the mere fact that appellant temporarily disappeared from the witness’s view, a rational trier of fact could not find entry beyond a reasonable doubt given the facts that the witness could not see the door, that appellant was out of sight for less than a minute, and that he carried nothing from the house.”
