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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The circumstantial evidence rule is no more than a special application of the rule concerning reasonable doubt. It “is not a concept independent of the question of whether there is substantial evidence to support the verdict.” (citation omitted) A verdict in a criminal case will not be set aside if supported by substantial evidence; the fact that the evidence is circumstantial does not alter this approach. (citation omitted)”
