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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he 1975 enactment of the South Dakota Legislature repealing and reenacting SDCL 22-22-12 was intended to modernize the rape statute to place the act in a proper perspective and to try the actor for the crime, not the victim. Again we see no reason to vary the treatment of the complaining witness in a sex contact case.... Thus, to apply a stricter test of credibility to the victim than to other witnesses in a trial is clearly against the modem trend which the legislature has set.”
