5 canonical passages across 4 cases, quoted by 50 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 State v. Troisi.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2 | State v. Nevius | green | “a conclusion which, by means of data founded upon common experience, natural reason draws from facts which are proven.” | 15 |
| 3 | State v. Payne | green | “when an inference, which forms the basis of a conviction, is drawn solely from another inference and that inference is not supported by any additional facts or inferences drawn from other established facts, the conviction is improper.” | 6 |
| 4 | State v. Payne | green | “circumstantial evidence has been defined as testimony not grounded on actual personal knowledge or observation of the facts in controversy, but of other facts from which inferences are drawn, showing indirectly the facts sought to be established.” | 6 |
| 5 | State v. Armstrong | green | “it consequently follows that 'when circumstantial evidence forms the basis of a conviction, that evidence must prove collateral facts and circumstances, from which the existence of a primary fact may be rationally inferred according to common experience.” | 4 |
