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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Appellants' contention that the court cannot find the material obscene when the State has offered no expert evidence and the defense has presented expert testimony as to its non-obscenity was discussed in Kaplan v. California, 413 U.S. 115 , 93 S.Ct. 2680 , 37 L.Ed.2d 492 (1973). There, the United States Supreme Court clearly stated that the materials themselves are sufficient for the determination even though the defense has introduced countervailing testimony."”
