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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The term ‘disfigurement’ connotes, among other things, deformity, defacement, marring and/or damage to one’s attractiveness. The doctors testified that the victim would bear a permanent scar in the vaginal and perineal areas and that after the injury a portion of the victim’s hymen was missing. It is beyond dispute that the victim has been left with a serious permanent disfigurement within the commonly accepted meaning of that word. Serious permanent disfigurement is an additional basis for a finding of serious bodily injury.” 208 Mont, at 529 .”
