These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When Mrs. Burns, Ann’s mother, came home after the episode was over, she thought the pair looked ‘suspicious.’ She wondered why the child was already in her pajamas; yet when she asked her daughter, her daughter gave no reason. “The defendant left the house within minutes of Mrs. Burns’ arrival. Her mother asked Ann again what was the matter, and this time, as the child began to speak, her eyes filled with tears and she hesitantly related the details of the assault.””
