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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our duty is to make an independent examination of the record. If after that we find “(1) The preponderance of the evidence supports the trial court’s findings of fact, or “(2) If there is doubt in our minds as to where the preponderance lies, or “(3) We think the evidence as revealed by the record may slightly preponderate against its conclusions but such preponderance may well he offset in favor of his conclusions by having seen the witnesses and been able to judge by their demeanor as to their credibility, then we will not reverse.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“I opine that what was really meant [by the constitutional provision] was that on review we would go over the record to determine what our conclusions of fact were from the transcript of the evidence, and if at the end of that investigation we were in doubt or even if there might be a slight preponderance in our minds against the trial court’s conclusions, we would affirm.”
