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

  1. “(a) A person . . . has sexual intercourse with a female not his wife without the female’s consent. (b) The intercourse is without the female’s consent under one or more of the following circumstances: (1) he compels her to submit or participate by force that overcomes such earnest resistance as might reasonably be expected under the circumstances. (2) he compels her to submit or participate by any threat, communicated by actions, words, or deeds, that would prevent resistance by a woman of ordinary resolution, under the same or similar circumstances, because of a reasonable fear of harm.”
