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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[B]ecause the information regarding [the father's] conviction corroborated [the victim's] testimony that he was sexually assaulted, it also enhanced the credibility of [the victim's] testimony that Wachsmuth committed the assault. This information, therefore, constituted improper corroboration of [the victim's] testimony that a sexual assault occurred and that Wachsmuth committed it. Because the state's case had little other corroboration of [the victim's] assertions, this information significantly bolstered the state's case.”
