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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Courts that have admitted the type of syndrome evidence at issue here have typically allowed it only to explain a child-victim's post-trauma behavior as a common reaction to sexual abuse where it would otherwise appear impeaching, for instance if there is a retraction of the allegations or a delay reporting the abuse ... In this case, the evidence was admitted to bolster the child's testimony that the crime had in fact occurred and was not offered to explain any seemingly inconsistent response to the trauma. We find admission of this irrelevant and prejudicial expert testimony was error.”
