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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The force to which reference is made in forcible compulsion “is not the force inherent in the act of penetration but the force used or threatened to overcome or prevent resistance by the female.” ... Where the degree of force exerted by the perpetrator is the distinguishing feature between second and third degree rape, to establish second degree rape the evidence must be sufficient to show that the force exerted was directed at overcoming the victim’s resistance and was more than that which is normally required to achieve penetration.”
