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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Q: In fact, you were convicted of attempted second degree sexual assault there in Colorado on July 22, 1980; isn't that true? A: I pled guilty to that. DEFENSE COUNSEL: I am going to object to that line of questioning, Your Honor. I think it goes beyond the scope of your prior ruling as well. THE COURT: Overruled. That's as far as he goes. You have a standing objection to it, counsel. Q: Did you ever live in Deadwood, South Dakota? A: Yes. Q: When did you live there? A: About mid-1976 to 1979. December 1979, I think, or later, sometime in 1979. Q: And, in fact, you were found guilty of sexual contact with a minor in Deadwood, South Dakota, on November 13, 1981; isn't that a fact? A: That's correct.”
