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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is claimed that this instruction [rape or no rape] is erroneous, because it required the jury to find the appellant either guilty or not guilty of rape, and gave the jury no opportunity to find the defendant guilty of the crime of attempt to rape, or the crime of assault and battery with intent. There is no evidence in this case showing that the appellant Parrett was guilty of committing an assault or assault and battery upon the prosecutrix with any other intention than to commit the crime of rape upon her. Appellant Parrett testified that he had intercourse with her, and that she consented thereto. The sexual intercourse complained of having been admitted by appellant, only one question remained, and that was whether it took place under circumstances which constituted it a rape. “In the case made by the evidence, where the act of intercourse is admitted by the defendant in his testimony as it is in this case, the refusal of the court to instruct the jury that they might find the defendant guilty of assault or assault and battery or assault with intent to rape is not error.””
