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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We find that the court was correct in finding that the two affidavits presented by Hooks do not constitute newly-discovered evidence. The law is clear in this state that “neither consent nor ‘mistake of age’ is a defense to capital or statutory rape.” In order to support the overturning of a conviction, newly-discovered evidence must be “of such nature that [it] would be practically conclusive that it would cause a different result.” Therefore, even if the affidavits were new evidence, they would not constitute newly-discovered evidence sufficient to cause a different result in Hooks’s conviction. Hooks’s contentions that the affidavits constitute newly-discovered evidence are wholly without merit.”
