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.

“That law excludes evidence of any kind about the victim’s prior ‘sexual conduct’ and defines ‘sexual conduct’ as deviate sexual activity, sexual contact or sexual intercourse. See Ark. Stat. Ann. 41-1810.1 and 41-1810.3. As conceded in the State’s petition, the victim’s purported conduct, as proffered by appellant here, simply is not sexual conduct as that term is defined by law. Thus, appellant’s proffered, relevant testimony clearly was not excludable under the Rape-Shield law, and the trial court, in ruling otherwise, committed error.”
