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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To sustain a conviction for possession of a controlled substance, the State must prove that the defendant knowingly and intentionally possessed the proscribed substance. [citation omitted] If actual possession is not present, constructive possession of the drugs will satisfy this burden if other facts exist which buttress the inference of defendant’s knowledge of the presence of the controlled substance. Exclusive control of the premises where the drugs are found raises an inference of possession and control. However, where only joint control of the premises is present, some further evidence is needed to connect the defendant with the drugs.”

Janson“[T]he State presented no evidence to establish that Defendant had regular access to, use or control, whether exclusive or joint, of the closet or any other part of the garage building. The evidence only shows that Defendant was one of several people present in the garage when the contraband was found in a nearby closet.”
