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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he State argues that there is evidence corroborating the victim’s testimony, so it does not help petitioner even if the old law applies. Before the state court, however, petitioner argued that “there was nothing to corroborate [the victim’s] version of events,” ... and that court accepted the contention as correct for the purposes of its decision. We do the same here.”
