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. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he child’s knowledge of [her] father’s power may alone induce fear sufficient to overcome [her] will to resist, and the child may acquiesce rather than risk [her] father’s wrath. . . . [F]orce can be understood in some contexts as the power one need not use. In such cases the parent wields authority as another assailant might wield a weapon. The authority itself intimidates; the implicit threat to exercise it coerces.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“During the dates in question, [the victim] was ages twelve through sixteen and was not emancipated and was subject to defendant's parental authority [as step-father]. From the circumstances of the parental relationship, we find there is sufficient evidence from which a reasonable jury could conclude defendant used his position of power to force his stepdaughter to engage in sexual acts.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Evidence necessary to prove an element of the offense shall not be used to prove any factor in aggravation, and the same item of evidence shall not be used to prove more than one factor in aggravation.”
