The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““We have many times alluded to the care with which this class of cases should be tried. The direct testimony is 'usually, as here, confined to the charge of the little girl and the denial of the defendant. Juries, as a rule, seem prone to accept the story told by the girl as sufficient to convince them of the guilt of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.” P eople v. Keller, 227 Mich. 520 .”
