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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[u]nlike Giddens, absent the challenged testimony, the present case involved more evidence of guilt against the defendant than simply the testimony of the child victim and the corroborating witnesses”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a]side from the testimony of A.B.[, the child victim,] and the witnesses corroborating her testimony, the following evidence was presented at trial: testimony by Raquel[, the defendant's wife,] that shortly after A.B. filed charges against [the] defendant, [the] defendant "manipulat[ed]" Raquel to tattoo his penis in order to "blow [A.B.'s] story out of the water"; [the] defendant asked Raquel to contact Burris[, a female acquaintance,] in an effort to get Burris to lie about having seen the tattoo during the time period associated with the allegations by A.B.; photographs of [the] defendant's penis, coupled with Raquel's testimony, showed that he did not have a tattoo as of 2 January 2007, despite the fact that he testified he did have the tattoo as early as 2003 or 2004; and [the] defendant tried to have A.B. killed after charges were filed against him.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“that the trial court committed plain error by allowing [a] DSS social worker ... to testify that there had been a substantiation of sex abuse of [the child victim] by [the] defendant.”
