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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Susan had no opportunity to escape or to seek assistance. She was alone in the shop when the rape occurred ... At the critical time, Susan was absolutely helpless — entirely at appellant’s mercy. Under this frightening circumstance, appellant’s actions clearly sufficed to establish the necessary threat; they were, in the words of Hazel , “reasonably calculated to create in [Susan’s] mind — having regard to the circumstances in which she was placed — a real apprehension, due to fear, of imminent bodily harm, serious enough to impair or overcome her will to resist.””
