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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Vermont Supreme Court held: Ms. Fuller’s doubts as to whether the sexual assault occurred, offered through the testimony of a third person, is not the type of evidence normally admitted for impeachment purposes. Her alleged statement [to Harris] was not an assertion of an opinion on S.É.’s character for truthfulness. The statement offered through Mr. Harris is hearsay and only relevant if offered for the truth of the matter asserted. Therefore, the court did not err in excluding the inadmissible impeachment evidence.”

I don’t know how I’m going to get through the next days or weeks, I am intimidated by [the prosecutor] to the extent when I think about it my ears start ringing and I feel like I’m having a panic attack, I can just imagine how you feel. It’s your life on the line. I put you there and now I have to try to get you out, what a mess. I wish we could either turn back the clock or zoom it ahead and have this over.”

Gorczyk“the elapsed time between successive parts of the defendant's conduct; whether the defendant's conduct occurred in more than one geographic location; whether an intervening event occurred between successive parts of the defendant's conduct; [and] whether there was sufficient time for reflection between assaultive acts for the defendant to again commit himself.”
