| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Christian v. Commonwealth Anchor | green | “mere opportunity to commit an offense raises only 'the suspicion that the defendant may have been the guilty agent; and suspicion is never enough to sustain a conviction.” | 12 |
| 2 | Sutphin v. Commonwealth | green | “whenever the evidence leaves indifferent which of several hypotheses is true, or merely establishes only some finite probability in favor of one hypothesis, such evidence does not amount to proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” | 8 |
A red or yellow flag on a member means the underlying case has negative treatment: for those, check the case page before relying on the passage.
