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.
“As the cases recognize, a victim truly suffering from BWS will, for various complex reasons, act in ways that may seem counterintuitive to the average juror. It is up to the prosecution ... to recognize the potential for juror confusion and offer appropriate expert testimony on BWS that will help the jury understand an alleged victim’s actions. See State v. Grecinger, 569 N.W.2d 189, 196 (Minn. 1997) (admitting expert testimony on BWS offered in the state’s case-in-chief reasoning that “it could help the jury understand behavior that might otherwise undermine the complainant’s credibility”).”
