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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If her story was contradicted, you might be in doubt, but the defense has left the story stand where it is unimpeached and undisputed, and when you go into the jury room to consider whether the girl was telling the truth, ask yourself this question: ‘Is her testimony contradicted by a single witness in this case?’ and I say ‘No.’ Under those circumstances, gentlemen of the jury, you have got to believe that girl, you cannot do anything else.””
