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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[allthough it is clear that [the victim] did not consent to the touching, evidence that a vietim did not voluntarily consent to a touching does not, in itself, support the conclusion that the defendant compelled the victim to submit to the touching by force or threat of force.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Chatham v. State“A person who ... touches another person when that person is: (1) compelled to submit to the touching by force or the imminent threat of force; or (2) so mentally disabled or deficient that consent to the touching cannot be given; commits sexual battery, a Class D felony.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Bailey v. State“If a court finds that the evidence was `offered to prove something other than the defendant's bad character or propensity to commit the charged crime,' it must then determine whether its prejudicial impact substantially outweighs its probative value.”
