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.

““The contention of the appellant is that the evidence does not show that the defendant actually, placed his hands upon, or that they came in contact with, the legs or any portion of the body of the child. “The information does specifically allege that the defendant so acted; that his hands came in contact with the legs of the little girl. The crime, however, denounced by section 288, supra, is complete, or may be completed without any such actual contact.””
