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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“You can consider all the evidence. The trial has to be held in public, everything has to be done face to face so you can see and because that is a very great part of this case. Is it reasonable to believe that Debby Sue Clark, under any circumstances, and in particular, these circumstances, would consent to sexual intercourse with that (indicating)? Mr. Large [defense counsel]: Objection, Your Honor. I have a motion to make. The Court: Motion overruled. Mr. Large: Can I make the motion after the jury is excused? The Court: Denied.”
