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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the instant case, [the victim] was confined by removal, a violation of subsection two, when she was compelled at gun point to move from the front door to S.K.’s bedroom. Her confinement while in S.K.’s bedroom during the sexual assaults was of the kind defined in subsection one—restraint. However, at no time did [the victim] escape from Idle’s detention, although his attention was briefly diverted. It cannot be said that there were two distinct periods of confinement. Therefore, [the victim] was the victim of only one continuous episode of confinement, and Idle may not be convicted twice for that single offense.”
