4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Drake v. State · Gilson v. State“We believe that under the circumstances of this case, the rape of N. at Christmas was the culmination of the September-October incident. The prior incident involved fondling of N.-, and appellant learned that N. would not tell her mother if appellant asked her to remain silent. Under these circumstances, we find that this evidence ‘tends to support the conclusion that there was a plan or system which embraced that and the crime for which [appellant was] charged,’ in that ‘the [prior] crime [was] committed to prepare the way for another and the commission of the second crime [was] made to depend on the first.’ (Citations Omitted)”
