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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the harm to the victim in a first-degree murder case clearly outweighs the harm to the victim here, first-degree murder in Iowa includes felony-murder, Iowa Code section 707.2(2), a crime in which defendant need not even have contemplated a killing when commencing a foray into crime. Although first-degree sexual abuse requires the victim to suffer “disabling mental illness, or bodily injury,” Iowa Code section 702.-18, it was not unreasonable for the legislature to equate the psychological effects of a kidnapping on a rape victim with the affliction of a mental injury.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“(1) [T]he crime of First Degree Kidnapping is one of ‘utmost severity’ because of the potential for additional harm to a rape victim; (2) the sentence for one who kidnaps and sexually abuses a victim is not disproportionate to other sentences in Iowa because both the kidnapping and the sexual abuse are actually ‘two serious, life-threatening crimes instead of only one;’ and (3) Iowa is not alone in imposing life imprisonment without parole for those who kidnap with the intent to subject their victims to sexual abuse.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“No person shall be convicted of a public offense which is necessarily included in another public offense of which the person is convicted. If the jury returns a verdict of guilty of more than one offense and such verdict conflicts with this section, the court shall enter judgment of guilty of the greater of the offenses only.”
