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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the crimes were simple, involved only one defendant and one victim each time, the court clearly charged the jury to consider each charge separately and the jury announced its verdict on each count separately. There was nothing complex about these [three] offenses such as could make it difficult for the trier of fact to distinguish the evidence and apply the law intelligently as to each offense. Lastly, the risk of prejudice ("smear effect") from this joint disposition was minimal. The evidence of either act could have been introduced at the trial of the other, which negates any claim that [Love] was impermissibly prejudiced by the trial of the charges together.”
