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

1. “It is undisputed that defendant and [the victim] had an intimate relationship, and that defendant had permission to enter [the victim’s] home on prior occasions. Permission to enter one day, however, does not give one carte blanche authorization to enter any time he wishes. It is [the victim’s] uncontradicted testimony that on the date of the incident she repeatedly denied defendant entry into her home and repeatedly asked him to leave her property. Nevertheless, defendant entered the home and forced his way into [the victim’s] bathroom while she was bathing. Regardless of whether defendant let himself in, or, as defendant testified, [the victim’s] ten-year-old son opened the door for him, it is clear that there was sufficient evidence for the jury to conclude that defendant entered [the victim’s] home on July 3, 2009, with out the consent of a person with the authority and/or capacity to consent.”
