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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whether predicated on expert testimony that Brock suffered from a paraphilia that rendered him unable to control his desire to rape or testimony suggesting an antisocial personality marked by im-pulsivity, or both, the jury undoubtedly found that Brock’s condition evinced “serious difficulty” in controlling behavior. This is sufficient. Crane declined to require that the condition posing serious difficulty be a volitional one.”
