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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'Where the defendant claims that the victim consented, the jury must weigh the evidence and decide which of the two witnesses is telling the truth' The defense of a reasonable belief in consent by contrast, 'permits the jury to conclude that both the victim and the accused are telling the truth. [Citation omitted.] The jury will first consider the victim's state of mind and decide whether she consented to the alleged acts. If she did not consent, the jury will view the events from the defendant's perspective to determine whether the manner in which the victim expressed her lack of consent was so equivocal as to cause the accused to assume that she consented where in fact she did not'”
