4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Tabor · State v. Davidson“[t]o a person of normal, social and moral sensibility, the idea of the sexual exploitation of the young is so repulsive that it's almost impossible to believe that none but the most depraved and degenerate would commit such an act. The average juror could well find it incomprehensible that one who stands before the court on trial could commit such an act. Juries must have all the relevant facts before them. A past history of such a defendant's plans, schemes and motives is relevant.”
