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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not violative of due process of law for a legislature in framing its criminal law to cast upon the public the duty of care and even of caution, provided that there is sufficient warning to one bent on obedience, that he comes near the proscribed area.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“It was no doubt intended to save from embarrassment and offensive publicity women who have been the subject of the kind of assault delineated in the statute, and to aid law-enforcement officers to more readily obtain evidence for the prosecution of such criminal offenses. It is considered *Page 98 that it is a matter of common knowledge that such victims suffer far beyond anything suffered by men or women in connection with other classes of crimes. It was to prevent this and aid prosecuting officers that the legislature of this and nineteen other states have enacted laws of this general character.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. (1971)“As has already been stated, this statute is intended to protect the victim from embarrassment and offensive publicity which no doubt have a strong tendency to affect her future standing in society. . . . "When the situation of the victim of the assault and the handicap prosecuting officers labor under in such cases are weighed against the benefit of publishing the identity of the victim in connection with the details of the crime, there can be no doubt that the slight restriction of the freedom of the press prescribed by sec. 348.412, Stats., is fully justified.”
