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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In [Strickland], not only had the victim and defendant had no prior sexual relationship, but the state submitted substantial evidence that defendant used both actual physical force and constructive force against the victim during the course of the offense. The victim testified that after defendant learned she was not feeling well, he refused to leave her premises, broke the latch off her screen door, forced his way into her home, and “grabbed [her] from behind and put his hand over [her] mouth.” ... Q. And he pulled you into the bedroom? A. He pulled me into the bedroom by my arm. Q. Did you scream or holler? A. I couldn’t, I was scared of what would happen. Q. How did you get on the bed? A. He pushed me on the bed. Q. Did you fight with him, at the time? A. I couldn’t fight with him. Q. Did he have a hold of you at that time? A. Yes, sir. Q. What happened when he pushed you onto the bed? A. He pulled my panties off and had sex with me. Q. Did he have power over you the entire time? A. Yes, sir. [The Strickland Court held] that the evidence [was] sufficient to show that defendant used physical force as well as the victim’s fear and fright to commit the crime.”
