10 canonical passages across 8 cases, quoted by 922 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from Hooper v. State.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hooper v. State Anchor | green | “each fact need not point directly and independently to the guilt of the appellant, as long as the cumulative force of all the incriminating circumstances is sufficient to support the conviction.” | 353 |
| 2 | Hooper v. State | green | “circumstantial evidence is as probative as direct evidence in establishing the guilt of an actor, and circumstantial evidence alone can be sufficient to establish guilt.” | 296 |
| 3 | Wise v. State | green | “the inferences necessary to establish guilt are reasonable based upon the cumulative force of all the evidence when considered in the light most favorable to the verdict.” | 84 |
| 4 | Clayton v. State | green | “when the record supports conflicting inferences, we presume that the factfinder resolved the conflicts in favor of the prosecution and therefore defer to that determination.” | 78 |
| 5 | Wise v. State | green | “the factfinder exclusively determines the weight and credibility of the evidence.” | 34 |
| 6 | Vasquez v. State | green | “should not substantially intrude upon the jury's role as the sole judge of the weight and credibility of witness testimony.” | 27 |
| 7 | Curry v. State | green | “law as authorized by the indictment” | 19 |
| 8 | Render v. State | green | “an appellate court must give deference to a jury's decision regarding what weight to give contradictory testimonial evidence because the decision is most likely based on an evaluation of credibility and demeanor, which the jury is in a better position to judge.” | 16 |
| 9 | Burdine v. State | green | “evidence is sufficient to support a conviction under the law of parties where the actor is physically present at the commission of the offense, and encourages the commission of the offense either by words or other agreement.” | 8 |
| 10 | Daugherty, Tonya Jean | green | “accurately sets out the law, is authorized by the indictment, does not unnecessarily increase the state's burden of proof or unnecessarily restrict the state's theories of liabilities, and adequately describes the particular offense for which the defendant was tried.” | 7 |
