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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““True, the prosecutrix unwittingly says she did not ‘object to the intercourse’ which the defendants had with her, but this was predicated upon the reason stated that she feared for her life, and ‘it was against my wishes and against my will.’ She further says: ‘I did not consent; I used as much force as I could to keep them from having sexual intercourse with me.’ It is conceded that the ‘force’ necessary to constitute rape, need not be actual physical force. 52 C.J. 1024. Fear, fright, or coercion, may take the place of force. 44 Am. Jur. 903 .””
