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.

    3 later decisions quote this exact passage
  2. “Everyone in society is vulnerable and must trust others not to harm or hurt or steal. Everyone who breaks a criminal law violates this trust. Being naturally innocent in sexual matters, all children are especially vulnerable to the physical, mental and emotional harm that can result from exposure to gross adult lewd acts. To protect children from that harm is the very purpose of section 800.04, Florida Statutes which prohibits lewd acts on, or in the presence of children.”

  3. “[E]motional hardship can never constitute a clear and convincing reason to depart in a sexual battery case because nearly all sexual battery cases inflict emotional hardship on the victim.”
