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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Now if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that ... Ba-zanes, did then and there, with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of said defendant, intentionally or knowingly cause [E.C.B.], a child younger than 17 years and not the spouse of the defendant, to engage in sexual contact by causing the said child, [E.C.B.] to touch the genitals of the defendant ..., then you will find the defendant guilty of Indecency with a Child, as charged in Count III of the indictment.”
