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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Aggravated rape is a rape committed where the sexual intercourse is deemed to be without the lawful consent of the female because it is committed under any one or more of the following circumstances: “(1) Where the female resists the act to the utmost, but her resistance is overcome by force. “(2) Where she is prevented from resisting the act by threats of great and immediate bodily harm, accompanied by apparent power of execution. “(3) Where she is under the age of twelve years. Lack of knowledge of the female's age shall not be a defense. “Whoever commits the crime of aggravated rape shall be punished by death.””
